Anthony Trollope
Many people talk much, and then very many people talk very much more.
Anthony Trollope
Flirting I take to be the excitement of love, without its reality, and without its ordinary result in marriage.

Anthony Trollope
It is a grand thing to rise in the world. The ambition to do so is the very salt of the earth. It is the parent of all enterprise, and the cause of all improvement.
Anthony Trollope
Satire, though it may exaggerate the vice it lashes, is not justified in creating it in order that it may be lashed.
Anthony Trollope
Of all the needs a book has the chief need is that it be readable.
Anthony Trollope
On board ship there are many sources of joy of which the land knows nothing. You may flirt and dance at sixty and if you are awkward in the turn of a valse, you may put it down to the motion of the ship. You need wear no gloves, and may drink your soda-and-brandy without being ashamed of it.
Anthony Trollope
Why is it that when men and women congregate, though the men may beat the women in numbers by ten to one, and through they certainly speak the louder, the concrete sound that meets the ears of any outside listener is always a sound of women's voices?
