Image
If you cross the Atlantic with an American lady you invariably fall in love with her before the journey is over. Travel with the same woman in a railway car for twelve hours, and you will have written her down in your own mind in quite other language than that of love.

Men are cowards before women until they become tyrants.
Anthony Trollope

It is very hard, that necessity of listening to a man who says nothing
Anthony Trollope
Image
He was essentially a truth-speaking man, if only he know how to speak the truth.
Anthony Trollope
Image
No one can depute authority. It comes too much from personal accidents, and too little from reason or law to be handed over to others.
Anthony Trollope

Poverty, to be picturesque, should be rural. Suburban misery is as hideous as it is pitiable.
Anthony Trollope

There's nothing like going on with a thing.
Anthony Trollope
Image
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.
