Charles Dudley Warner
The principal value of a garden is not understood. It is not to give the possessors vegetables and fruit (that can be better and cheaper done by the market-gardeners), but to teach him patience and philosophy, and the higher virtues - hope deferred, and expectations blighted, leading directly to resignation, and sometimes to alienation.

Charles Dudley Warner
A cynic might suggest as the motto of modern life this simple legend-just as good as the real.
Charles Dudley Warner
Happy is said to be the family which can eat onions together. They are, for the time being, separate, from the world, and have a harmony of aspiration.
Charles Dudley Warner
A well known American writer said once that, while everybody talked about the weather, nobody seemed to do anything about it.
Charles Dudley Warner
If you do things by the job, you are perpetually driven: the hours are scourges. If you work by the hour, you gently sail on the stream of Time, which is always bearing you on to the haven of Pay, whether you make any effort, or not.
Charles Dudley Warner
It is fortunate that each generation does not comprehend its own ignorance. We are thus enabled to call our ancestors barbarous.
Charles Dudley Warner
What a man needs in gardening is a cast-iron back, with a hinge in it.
Charles Dudley Warner
People always overdo the matter when they attempt deception.
