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
If there was any petting to be done...he chose to do it. Often he would sit looking at me, and then, moved by a delicate affection, come and pull at my coat and sleeve until he could touch my face with his nose, and then go away contented.
Charles Dudley Warner
A boy has a natural genius for combining business with pleasure.
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
Blessed be agriculture! if one does not have too much of it.
Charles Dudley Warner
The tenure of a literary reputation is the most uncertain and fluctuating of all.
Charles Dudley Warner
