More quotes by 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.
Anthony Trollope
Speeches easy to young speakers are generally very difficult to old listeners.
Anthony Trollope
Many people talk much, and then very many people talk very much more.
Anthony Trollope
Success is the necessary misfortune of life, but it is only to the very unfortunate that it comes early.
Anthony Trollope
To feel that your hours are filled to overflowing, that you can barely steal minutes enough for sleep, that the welfare of many is entrusted to you, that the world looks on and approves, that some good is always being done to others -- above all things some good to your country -- that is happiness.
Anthony Trollope
Men will love to the last, but they love what is fresh and new. A woman's love can live on the recollection of the past, and cling to what is old and ugly.
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's dogged as does it. It ain't thinking about it.
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

Anthony Trollope
Book love... is your pass to the greatest, the purest, and the most perfect pleasure that God has prepared for His creatures.
Anthony Trollope
They who do not understand that a man may be brought to hope that which of all things is the most grievous to him, have not observed with sufficient closeness the perversity of the human mind.
Anthony Trollope
Upon the present occasion London was full of clergymen. The specially clerical clubs, the Oxford and Cambridge, the Old University, and the Athenaeum, were black with them.
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
The end of a novel, like the end of a children's dinner-party, must be made up of sweetmeats and sugar-plums.
Anthony Trollope
If a cook can't make soup between two and seven, she can't make it in a week.
Anthony Trollope
One can only pour out of a jug that which is in it.
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
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
