Charles Dudley Warner quotes about

class sometimes failing
Snobbery, being an aspiring failing, is sometimes the prophecy of better things.
fool aspiration
It is only the fools who keep straining at high C all their lives.
real simple legends
A cynic might suggest as the motto of modern life this simple legend-"just as good as the real.
