More quotes by Charles Dudley Warner
Hoeing in the garden on a bright, soft May day, when you are not obligated to, is nearly equal to the delight of going trouting.
Charles Dudley Warner
There is no moment of delight in any pilgrimage like the beginning of it.
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
The tenure of a literary reputation is the most uncertain and fluctuating of all.
Charles Dudley Warner

What a man needs in gardening is a cast-iron back, with a hinge in it.
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
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
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
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
The stranger who receives the rare gift of human kindness holds its value in his heart forever.
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
