Anthony Trollope
A husband is very much like a house or a horse.
Anthony Trollope
Any one prominent in affairs can always see when a man may steal a horse and when a man may not look over a hedge.
Anthony Trollope
One can only pour out of a jug that which is in it.
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
It is my purpose to disclose the mystery at once, and to ask you to look for your interest,--should you choose to go on with my chronicle,--simply in the conduct of my persons, during this disclosure to others.
Anthony Trollope

Anthony Trollope
They who do not understand that a man may be brought to hope that which of all things is the most grievous to him, have not observed with sufficient closeness the perversity of the human mind.
Anthony Trollope
There is nothing more tyrannical than a strong popular feeling among a democratic people.
Anthony Trollope
My belief of book writing is much the same as my belief as to shoemaking. The man who will work the hardest at it, and will work with the most honest purpose, will work the best.
Anthony Trollope
What on earth could be more luxurious than a sofa, a book, and a cup of coffee?...Was ever anything so civil?
Anthony Trollope
Above all else, never think you're not good enough.
Anthony Trollope
A physician should take his fee without letting his left hand know what his right is doing it should be taken without a thought, without a look, without a move of the facial muscles the true physician should hardly be aware that the last friendly grasp of the hand has been made more precious by the touch of gold
Anthony Trollope
