More quotes by 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

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
What is there that money will not do?
Anthony Trollope
Success is the necessary misfortune of life, but it is only to the very unfortunate that it comes early.
Anthony Trollope

Anthony Trollope
Take away from English authors their copyrights, and you would very soon take away from England her authors.
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
