There isn't a wife in the world who has not taken the exact measure of her husband, weighed him and settled him in her own mind, and knows him as well as if she had ordered him after designs and specifications of her own.
Charles Dudley Warner
Mud-pies gratify one of our first and best instincts. So long as we are dirty, we are pure.
Charles Dudley Warner
The chief effect of talk on any subject is to strengthen one's own opinions, and, in fact, one never knows exactly what he does believe until he is warmed into conviction by the heat of attack and defence.
Charles Dudley Warner
Nothing is worth reading that does not require an alert mind.
Charles Dudley Warner
A boy has a natural genius for combining business with pleasure.
Charles Dudley Warner
