More quotes by Charles Dudley Warner

Charles Dudley Warner

Charles Dudley Warner
It is well known that no person who regards his reputation will ever kill a trout with anything but a fly. It requires some training on the part of the trout to take to this method.
Charles Dudley Warner
Goodness comes out of people who bask in the sun, as it does out of a sweet apple roasted before the fire.
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
In onion is strength and a garden without it lacks flavour. The onion, in its satin wrappings, is among the most beautiful of vegetables and it is the only one that represents the essence of things. It can almost be said to have a soul.
