An author must be nothing if he do not love truth a barrister must be nothing if he do.

Image
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.

I think I owe my life to cork soles.
Anthony Trollope
Image
Till we can become divine, we must be content to be human, lest in our hurry for change we sink to something lower.
Anthony Trollope
Image
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
Image
When I sit down to write a novel I do not at all know, and I do not very much care, how it is to end.
Anthony Trollope
Image
The idea of putting old Browborough into prison for conduct which habit had made second nature to a large proportion of the House was distressing to Members of Parliament generally.

Image
I am ready to obey as a child :but, not being a child, I think I ought to have a reason.

Above all else, never think you're not good enough.
Anthony Trollope
Image
Considering how much we are all given to discuss the characters of others, and discuss them often not in the strictest spirit of charity, it is singular how little we are inclined to think that others can speak ill-naturedly of us, and how angry and hurt we are when proof reaches us that they have done so.

Image
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
Image
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.

I ain't a bit ashamed of anything.
