More quotes by Anthony Trollope

Anthony Trollope
It is the necessary nature of a political party in this country to avoid, as long as it can be avoided, the consideration of any question which involves a great change.
Anthony Trollope
There are some achievements which are never done in the presence of those who hear of them. Catching salmon is one, and working all night is another.
Anthony Trollope
Till we can become divine, we must be content to be human, lest in our hurry for change we sink to something lower.
Anthony Trollope
In former days, when there were Whigs instead of Liberals, it was almost a rule of political life that all leading Whigs sould be uncles, brothers-in-law, or cousins to each other. This was pleasant and gave great consistency to the party but the system has now gone out of vogue.

I doubt whether any girl would be satisfied with her lover's mind if she knew the whole of it.
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
The best education is to be had at a price, as well as the best broadcloth.
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
But the school in which good training is most practiced will, as a rule, turn out the best scholars.
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
I ain't a bit ashamed of anything.
Anthony Trollope
The satirist who writes nothing but satire should write but little - or it will seem that his satire springs rather from his own caustic nature than from the sins of the world in which he lives.
Anthony Trollope
Since woman's rights have come up a young woman is better able to fight her own battle.
Anthony Trollope
I have no ambition to surprise my reader. Castles with unknown passages are not compatible with my homely muse.
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
A woman's life is not perfect or whole till she has added herself to a husband. Nor is a man's life perfect or whole till he has added to himself a wife.
Anthony Trollope
It is no good any longer having any opinion upon anything.
Anthony Trollope
It is a comfortable feeling to know that you stand on your own ground. Land is about the only thing that can't fly away.
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.
