Anthony Trollope
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
Many people talk much, and then very many people talk very much more.
Anthony Trollope

Anthony Trollope
Though they were Liberals they were not democrats nor yet infidels.
Anthony Trollope

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
Rights and rules, which are bonds of iron to a little man, are packthread to a giant.
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
What is there that money will not do?
Anthony Trollope
Any one prominent in affairs can always see when a man may steal a horse and when a man may not look over a hedge.
Anthony Trollope
Satire, though it may exaggerate the vice it lashes, is not justified in creating it in order that it may be lashed.
