Charles Dudley Warner quotes about
solitude isolation conceit
Isolation breeds conceit.
jobs effort pay
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.
weed garden names
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.
garden land cities
The thing generally raised on city land is taxes.
nature faults reform
Nature is entirely indifferent to any reform. She perpetuates a fault as persistently as a virtue.
flower men he-man
There is life in the ground; it goes into the seeds and also when it is stirred up goes into the man who stirs it.
emotional world earth
The world is full of poetry as the earth is of pay-dirt; one only needs to know how to strike it.
responsibility garden awful
A garden is an awful responsibility. You never know what you may be aiding to grow in it.
men garden race
To own a bit of ground, to scratch it with a hoe, to plant seeds, and watch the renewal of life - this is the commonest delight of the race, the most satisfactory thing a man can do.
philosophy garden vegetables
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.
hate justice want
You want to hate somebody, if you can, just to keep your powers of discrimination bright, and to save yourself from becoming a mere mush of good-nature.
spring hoe matter
Hoe while it is spring, and enjoy the best anticipations. It is not much matter if things do not turn out well.
men chess disgusting
There is nothing that disgusts a man like getting beaten at chess by a woman.
money world absolutes
There is no such thing as absolute value in this world. You can only estimate what a thing is worth to you.
