Anthony Trollope
Lord Chiltern recognizes the great happiness of having a grievance. It would be a pity that so great a blessing should be thrown away upon him.
Anthony Trollope
Those who offend us are generally punished for the offence they give but we so frequently miss the satisfaction of knowing that we are avenged !.
