Charles Dudley Warner
There is but one pleasure in life equal to that of being called on to make an after-dinner speech, and that is not being called on to make one.
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.
