The tenure of a literary reputation is the most uncertain and fluctuating of all.
Charles Dudley Warner
Politics makes strange bedfellows.
Charles Dudley Warner
The wise man does not permit himself to set up even in his own mind any comparisons of his friends. His friendship is capable of going to extremes with many people, evoked as it is by many qualities.
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.

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
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

Charles Dudley Warner
What a man needs in gardening is a cast-iron back, with a hinge in it.
Charles Dudley Warner
The thing generally raised on city land is taxes.
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
I know that unremitting attention to business is the price of success, but I don't know what success is.
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
The most popular persons are those who take the world as it is who find the least fault.
Charles Dudley Warner
Public opinion is stronger than the legislature, and nearly as strong as the ten commandments.
Charles Dudley Warner
One discovers a friend by chance, and cannot but feel regret that 20 or 30 years of life may have been spent without the least knowledge of him.
Charles Dudley Warner
Women are not as sentimental as men, and are not so easily touched with the unspoken poetry of nature, being less poetical, and having less imagination they are more fitted for practical affairs, and would make fewer failures in business.
Charles Dudley Warner
It is only the fools who keep straining at high C all their lives.
