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

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
How many wars have been caused by fits of indigestion, and how many more dynasties have been upset by the love of woman than by the hate of man?
Charles Dudley Warner
It is fortunate that each generation does not comprehend its own ignorance. We are thus enabled to call our ancestors barbarous.
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
I do not know the names of all the weeds and plants, I have to do as Adam did in his garden... name things as I find them.
Charles Dudley Warner
The most popular persons are those who take the world as it is who find the least fault.
Charles Dudley Warner
The thing generally raised on city land is taxes.
