More quotes by 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
It is the test of a novel writer's art that he conceal his snake-in-the-grass but the reader may be sure that it is always there.
Anthony Trollope
He must have known me if he had seen me as he was wont to see me, for he was in the habit of flogging me constantly. Perhaps he did not recognize me by my face.
Anthony Trollope
A Minister can always give a reason and, if he be clever, he can generally when doing so punish the man who asks for it. The punishing of an influential enemy is an indiscretion but an obscure questioner may often be crushed with good effect.
Anthony Trollope
Your man with a thin skin, a vehement ambition, a scrupulous conscience, and a sanguine desire for rapid improvement is never a happy, and seldom a fortunate politician.
Anthony Trollope
No one can depute authority. It comes too much from personal accidents, and too little from reason or law to be handed over to others.
Anthony Trollope
The circumstances seemed to be simple but they who understood such matters declared that the duration of a trial depended a great deal more on the public interest felt in the matter than upon its own nature.
Anthony Trollope
The happiest man is he, who being above the troubles which money brings, has his hands the fullest of work.
Anthony Trollope
Men who can succeed in deceiving no one else, will succeed at last in deceiving themselves.
Anthony Trollope
Fame is a skittish jade, more fickle even than Fortune, and apt to shy, and bolt, and plunge away on very trifling causes.
Anthony Trollope
Equality would be a heaven, if we could attain it.
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
Of all the needs a book has the chief need is that it be readable.
Anthony Trollope
This at least should be a rule through the letter-writing world: that no angry letter be posted till four-and-twenty hours will have elapsed since it was written.
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
There is nothing perhaps so generally consoling to a man as a well-established grievance a feeling of having been injured, on which his mind can brood from hour to hour, allowing him to plead his own cause in his own court, within his own heart, and always to plead it successfully.
Anthony Trollope
The true picture of life as it is, if it could be adequately painted, would show men what they are, and how they might rise, not, indeed to perfection, but one step first, and then another on the ladder.
Anthony Trollope
I judge a man by his actions with men, much more than by his declarations Godwards - When I find him to be envious, carping, spiteful, hating the successes of others, and complaining that the world has never done enough for him, I am apt to doubt whether his humility before God will atone for his want of manliness.
Anthony Trollope
Don't let love interfere with your appetite. It never does with mine.
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
