More quotes by Anthony Trollope
The girl can look forward to little else than the chance of having a good man for her husband a good man, or if her tastes lie in that direction, a rich man.
Anthony Trollope
Never let the estate decrease in your hands. It is only by such resolutions as that that English noblemen and English gentlemen can preserve their country. I cannot bear to see property changing hands.
Anthony Trollope
When one wants to be natural, of necessity one becomes the reverse of natural.
Anthony Trollope
I never believe anything that a lawyer says when he has a wig on his head and a fee in his hand. I prepare myself beforehand to regard it all as mere words, supplied at so much the thousand. I know he'll say whatever he thinks most likely to forward his own views.
Anthony Trollope
Late hours, nocturnal cigars, and midnight drinkings, pleasurable though they may be, consume too quickly the free-flowing lamps of youth, and are fatal at once to the husbanded candle-ends of age.
Anthony Trollope
It is very hard, that necessity of listening to a man who says nothing
Anthony Trollope
To feel that your hours are filled to overflowing, that you can barely steal minutes enough for sleep, that the welfare of many is entrusted to you, that the world looks on and approves, that some good is always being done to others -- above all things some good to your country -- that is happiness.
Anthony Trollope
The end of a novel, like the end of a children's dinner-party, must be made up of sweetmeats and sugar-plums.
Anthony Trollope
But facts always convince, and another man's opinion rarely convinces.
Anthony Trollope
When you have done the rashest thing in the world it is very pleasant to be told that no man of spirit could have acted otherwise.
Anthony Trollope
The happiest man is he, who being above the troubles which money brings, has his hands the fullest of work.
Anthony Trollope
That I can read and be happy while I am reading, is a great blessing.
Anthony Trollope
It has become a certainty now that if you will only advertise sufficiently you may make a fortune by selling anything.
Anthony Trollope
The law is a great thing,--because men are poor and weak, and bad. And it is great, because where it exists in its strength, no tyrant can be above it. But between you and me there should be no mention of law as the guide of conduct. Speak to me of honour, and of duty, and of nobility and tell me what they require of you.
Anthony Trollope
Flirting I take to be the excitement of love, without its reality, and without its ordinary result in marriage.
Anthony Trollope
He possessed the rare merit of making a property of his time and not a burden.
Anthony Trollope
I believe journalism is coming to be regarded as quite a respectable occupation for gentlemen nowadays.
Anthony Trollope
The good and the bad mix themselves so thoroughly in our thoughts, even in our aspirations, that we must look for excellence rather in overcoming evil than in freeing ourselves from its influence.
Anthony Trollope
You men find so many angels in your travels. You have been honester than some. You have generally been off with the old angel before you were with the new, as far at least as I knew.
Anthony Trollope
I think I owe my life to cork soles.
Anthony Trollope
