More quotes by Anthony Trollope
When a man wants to write a book full of unassailable facts, he always goes to the British Museum.
Anthony Trollope
It is very hard, that necessity of listening to a man who says nothing
Anthony Trollope
There is no royal road to learning no short cut to the acquirement of any art.
Anthony Trollope
The girl can look forward to little else than the chance of having a good man for her husband a good man, or if her tastes lie in that direction, a rich man.
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

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
Of Dickens' style it is impossible to speak in praise. It is jerky, ungrammatical, and created by himself in defiance of rules... No young novelist should ever dare to imitate the style of Dickens.
Anthony Trollope
Easy reading requires hard writing.
Anthony Trollope
He was essentially a truth-speaking man, if only he know how to speak the truth.
Anthony Trollope
The happiest man is he, who being above the troubles which money brings, has his hands the fullest of work.
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
Of all the needs a book has the chief need is that it be readable.
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
The greatest mistake any man ever made is to suppose that the good things of the world are not worth the winning.
Anthony Trollope
An editor is bound to avoid the meshes of the law, which are always infinitely more costly to companies, or things, or institutions, than they are to individuals.
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
Above all else, never think you're not good enough.
Anthony Trollope
I never knew a government yet that wanted to do anything.
Anthony Trollope
Rights and rules, which are bonds of iron to a little man, are packthread to a giant.
Anthony Trollope
