More quotes by Charles Dudley Warner

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
Plots are no more exhausted than men are. Every man is a new creation, and combinations are simply endless.
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
The world is full of poetry as the earth is of pay-dirt one only needs to know how to strike it.
Charles Dudley Warner
There is no moment of delight in any pilgrimage like the beginning of it.
Charles Dudley Warner
I know that unremitting attention to business is the price of success, but I don't know what success is.
Charles Dudley Warner
The stranger who receives the rare gift of human kindness holds its value in his heart forever.
Charles Dudley Warner
Hoeing in the garden on a bright, soft May day, when you are not obligated to, is nearly equal to the delight of going trouting.
Charles Dudley Warner
