More quotes by Anthony Trollope
It would seem that the full meaning of the word marriage can never be known by those who, at their first outspring into life, are surrounded by all that money can give. It requires the single sitting-room, the single fire, the necessary little efforts of self-devotion, the inward declaration that some struggle shall be made for that other one.
Anthony Trollope
The greatest mistake any man ever made is to suppose that the good things of the world are not worth the winning.

Anthony Trollope
Before the reader is introduced to the modest country medical practitioner who is to be the chief personage of the following tale, it will be well that he should be made acquainted with some particulars as to the locality in which, and the neighbours among whom, our doctor followed his profession.
Anthony Trollope
The best education is to be had at a price, as well as the best broadcloth.
Anthony Trollope
Of all the needs a book has the chief need is that it be readable.
Anthony Trollope
Romance is very pretty in novels, but the romance of a life is always a melancholy matter. They are most happy who have no story to tell.
Anthony Trollope
Success is a poison that should only be taken late in life and then only in small doses.
Anthony Trollope
Many people talk much, and then very many people talk very much more.
Anthony Trollope
Cham is the only thing to screw one up when one is down a peg.
Anthony Trollope
Of Dickens' style it is impossible to speak in praise. It is jerky, ungrammatical, and created by himself in defiance of rules... No young novelist should ever dare to imitate the style of Dickens.
Anthony Trollope
He possessed the rare merit of making a property of his time and not a burden.
Anthony Trollope
Marvelous is the power which can be exercised, almost unconsciously, over a company, or an individual, or even upon a crowd by one person gifted with good temper, good digestion, good intellects, and good looks.
Anthony Trollope
