More quotes by Anthony Trollope
When one wants to be natural, of necessity one becomes the reverse of natural.
Anthony Trollope
Flirting I take to be the excitement of love, without its reality, and without its ordinary result in marriage.
Anthony Trollope
I have sometimes thought that there is no being so venomous, so bloodthirsty as a professed philanthropist.
Anthony Trollope
The idea of putting old Browborough into prison for conduct which habit had made second nature to a large proportion of the House was distressing to Members of Parliament generally.
Anthony Trollope
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.
Anthony Trollope
People go on quarrelling and fancying this and that, and thinking that the world is full of romance and poetry. When they get married they know better.
Anthony Trollope
I never knew a government yet that wanted to do anything.
Anthony Trollope
As will so often be the case when a men has a pen in his hand. It is like a club or sledge-hammer, - in using which, either for defence or attack, a man can hardly measure the strength of the blows he gives.
Anthony Trollope
I do like a little romance... just a sniff, as I call it, of the rocks and valleys. Of course, bread-and-cheese is the real thing. The rocks and valleys are no good at all, if you haven't got that.
Anthony Trollope
I doubt whether I ever read any description of scenery which gave me an idea of the place described.
Anthony Trollope
The best education is to be had at a price, as well as the best broadcloth.
Anthony Trollope
The natural man will probably be manly. The affected man cannot be so.
Anthony Trollope
When any body of statesmen make public asservations by one or various voices, that there is no discord among them, not a dissentient voice on any subject, people are apt to suppose that they cannot hang together much longer.
Anthony Trollope
It may, indeed, be assumed that a man who loses his temper while he is speaking is endeavouring to speak the truth such as he believes it to be, and again it may be assumed that a man who speaks constantly without losing his temper is not always entitled to the same implicit faith.
Anthony Trollope
A Minister can always give a reason and, if he be clever, he can generally when doing so punish the man who asks for it. The punishing of an influential enemy is an indiscretion but an obscure questioner may often be crushed with good effect.
Anthony Trollope
But the school in which good training is most practiced will, as a rule, turn out the best scholars.
Anthony Trollope
Beware of creating tedium!
Anthony Trollope
What is there that money will not do?
Anthony Trollope
It's dogged as does it. It ain't thinking about it.
Anthony Trollope
She was as one who, in madness, was resolute to throw herself from a precipice, but to whom some remnant of sanity remained which forced her to seek those who would save her from herself.
Anthony Trollope
