I do like a little romance... just a sniff, as I call it, of the rocks and valleys. Of course, bread-and-cheese is the real thing. The rocks and valleys are no good at all, if you haven't got that.

More quotes by Anthony Trollope
The best education is to be had at a price, as well as the best broadcloth.
Anthony Trollope
But who ever yet was offered a secret and declined it?
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
Taken altogether, Washington as a city is most unsatisfactory, and falls more grievously short of the thing attempted than any other of the great undertakings of which I have seen anything in the United States.
Anthony Trollope
I am ready to obey as a child :but, not being a child, I think I ought to have a reason.
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 good and the bad mix themselves so thoroughly in our thoughts, even in our aspirations, that we must look for excellence rather in overcoming evil than in freeing ourselves from its influence.
Anthony Trollope
One wants in a Prime Minister a good many things, but not very great things. He should be clever but need not be a genius he should be conscientious but by no means strait-laced he should be cautious but never timid, bold but never venturesome he should have a good digestion, genial manners, and, above all, a thick skin.
Anthony Trollope
Speeches easy to young speakers are generally very difficult to old listeners.
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
When once a woman is married she should be regarded as having thrown off her allegiance to her own sex. She is sure to be treacherous at any rate in one direction.
Anthony Trollope
Above all else, never think you're not good enough.
Anthony Trollope
Men will love to the last, but they love what is fresh and new. A woman's love can live on the recollection of the past, and cling to what is old and ugly.
Anthony Trollope
Upon the present occasion London was full of clergymen. The specially clerical clubs, the Oxford and Cambridge, the Old University, and the Athenaeum, were black with them.
Anthony Trollope
When a man wants to write a book full of unassailable facts, he always goes to the British Museum.
Anthony Trollope
Let a man be of what side he may in politics, unless he be much more of a partisan than a patriot, he will think it well that there should be some equity of division in the bestowal of crumbs of comfort.
Anthony Trollope
Men and not measures are, no doubt, the very life of politics. But then it is not the fashion to say so in public places.
Anthony Trollope
But as the clerical pretensions are more exacting than all others, being put forward with an assertion that no answer is possible without breach of duty and sin, so are they more galling.
Anthony Trollope
I never knew a government yet that wanted to do anything.
Anthony Trollope
If we wish ourselves to be high, we should treat that which is over us as high.
Anthony Trollope
