There was but one thing for him- to persevere till he got her, or till he had finally lost her. And should the latter be his fate, as he began to fear that it would be, then, he would live, but live only, like a crippled man.

More quotes by 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
There are some points on which no man can be contented to follow the advice of another - some subjects on which a man can consult his own conscience only.
Anthony Trollope
Above all else, never think you're not good enough.
Anthony Trollope
Equality would be a heaven, if we could attain it.
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
Would it not be better to go home and live at the family park all the year round, and hunt, and attend Quarter Sessions, and be able to declare morning and evening with a clear conscience that the country was going to the dogs? Such was the mental working of many a Conservative who supported Mr. Daubeny on this occasion.
Anthony Trollope
Success is a poison that should only be taken late in life and then only in small doses.
Anthony Trollope
Things to be done offer themselves, I suppose, because they are in themselves desirable not because it is desirable to have something to do.
Anthony Trollope
Before the reader is introduced to the modest country medical practitioner who is to be the chief personage of the following tale, it will be well that he should be made acquainted with some particulars as to the locality in which, and the neighbours among whom, our doctor followed his profession.
Anthony Trollope
The best education is to be had at a price, as well as the best broadcloth.
Anthony Trollope
Passionate love, I take it, rarely lasts long, and is very troublesome while it does last. Mutual esteem is very much more valuable.
Anthony Trollope
The law is a great thing,--because men are poor and weak, and bad. And it is great, because where it exists in its strength, no tyrant can be above it. But between you and me there should be no mention of law as the guide of conduct. Speak to me of honour, and of duty, and of nobility and tell me what they require of you.
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
You men find so many angels in your travels. You have been honester than some. You have generally been off with the old angel before you were with the new, as far at least as I knew.
Anthony Trollope
The habit of writing clearly soon comes to the writer who is a severe critic to himself.
Anthony Trollope
She was as one who, in madness, was resolute to throw herself from a precipice, but to whom some remnant of sanity remained which forced her to seek those who would save her from herself.
Anthony Trollope
It is admitted that a novel can hardly be made interesting or successful without love? It is necessary because the passion is one which interests or has interested all. Everyone feels it, has felt it, or expects to feel it.
Anthony Trollope
Rights and rules, which are bonds of iron to a little man, are packthread to a giant.
Anthony Trollope
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.
Anthony Trollope
It's dogged as does it. It ain't thinking about it.
Anthony Trollope
