Charles Dudley Warner
To poke a wood fire is more solid enjoyment than almost anything else in the world.
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
Plots are no more exhausted than men are. Every man is a new creation, and combinations are simply endless.

Charles Dudley Warner
There are those who say that trees shade the garden too much, and interfere with the growth of the vegetables. There may be something in this:but when I go down the potato rows, the rays of the sun glancing upon my shining blade, the sweat pouring down my face, I should be grateful for shade.
Charles Dudley Warner

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
It is fortunate that each generation does not comprehend its own ignorance. We are thus enabled to call our ancestors barbarous.
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.
Charles Dudley Warner
A woman set on anything will walk right through the moral crockery without wincing.
Charles Dudley Warner
A boy has a natural genius for combining business with pleasure.
Charles Dudley Warner
There isn't a wife in the world who has not taken the exact measure of her husband, weighed him and settled him in her own mind, and knows him as well as if she had ordered him after designs and specifications of her own.
Charles Dudley Warner
It is only the fools who keep straining at high C all their lives.
