More quotes by Anthony Trollope
There are worse things than a lie... I have found... that it may be well to choose one sin in order that another may be shunned.
Anthony Trollope
A husband is very much like a house or a horse.
Anthony Trollope
Late hours, nocturnal cigars, and midnight drinkings, pleasurable though they may be, consume too quickly the free-flowing lamps of youth, and are fatal at once to the husbanded candle-ends of age.
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
I ain't a bit ashamed of anything.
Anthony Trollope
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.
Anthony Trollope
Above all else, never think you're not good enough.
Anthony Trollope
Life is so unlike theory.
Anthony Trollope
Why is it that when men and women congregate, though the men may beat the women in numbers by ten to one, and through they certainly speak the louder, the concrete sound that meets the ears of any outside listener is always a sound of women's voices?
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
Marvelous is the power which can be exercised, almost unconsciously, over a company, or an individual, or even upon a crowd by one person gifted with good temper, good digestion, good intellects, and good looks.
Anthony Trollope
The natural man will probably be manly. The affected man cannot be so.
Anthony Trollope
A man's mind will very gradually refuse to make itself up until it is driven and compelled by emergency.
Anthony Trollope
Don't let love interfere with your appetite. It never does with mine.
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
Romance is very pretty in novels, but the romance of a life is always a melancholy matter. They are most happy who have no story to tell.
Anthony Trollope
But who ever yet was offered a secret and declined it?
Anthony Trollope
Speeches easy to young speakers are generally very difficult to old listeners.
Anthony Trollope
I never believe anything that a lawyer says when he has a wig on his head and a fee in his hand. I prepare myself beforehand to regard it all as mere words, supplied at so much the thousand. I know he'll say whatever he thinks most likely to forward his own views.
Anthony Trollope
Men who can succeed in deceiving no one else, will succeed at last in deceiving themselves.
Anthony Trollope
