More quotes by Anthony Trollope
Though they were Liberals they were not democrats nor yet infidels.
Anthony Trollope
To feel that your hours are filled to overflowing, that you can barely steal minutes enough for sleep, that the welfare of many is entrusted to you, that the world looks on and approves, that some good is always being done to others -- above all things some good to your country -- that is happiness.
Anthony Trollope
Heroes in books should be so much better than heroes got up for the world's common wear and tear
Anthony Trollope
That I can read and be happy while I am reading, is a great blessing.
Anthony Trollope

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
But then in novels the most indifferent hero comes out right at last. Some god comes out of a theatrical cloud and leaves the poor devil ten thousand-a-year and a title.
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
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.
Anthony Trollope
Of all the needs a book has the chief need is that it be readable.
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
When men think much, they can rarely decide.
Anthony Trollope
My sweetheart is to me more than a coined hemisphere.
Anthony Trollope
