It is very difficult to say nowadays where the suburbs of London come to an end and where the country begins. The railways, instead of enabling Londoners to live in the country have turned the countryside into a city.

More quotes by Anthony Trollope
The habit of writing clearly soon comes to the writer who is a severe critic to himself.
Anthony Trollope
I doubt whether I ever read any description of scenery which gave me an idea of the place described.
Anthony Trollope
Beware of creating tedium!
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
You men find so many angels in your travels. You have been honester than some. You have generally been off with the old angel before you were with the new, as far at least as I knew.
Anthony Trollope
As to happiness in this life it is hardly compatible with that diminished respect which ever attends the relinquishing of labour.
Anthony Trollope
The happiest man is he, who being above the troubles which money brings, has his hands the fullest of work.
Anthony Trollope
A husband is very much like a house or a horse.
Anthony Trollope
Of course, Lady Arabella could not suckle the young heir herself. Ladies Arabella never can. They are gifted with the powers of being mothers, but not nursing mothers. Nature gives them bosoms for show, but not for use. So Lady Arabella had a wet-nurse.
Anthony Trollope
There are some achievements which are never done in the presence of those who hear of them. Catching salmon is one, and working all night is another.
Anthony Trollope
It is a comfortable feeling to know that you stand on your own ground. Land is about the only thing that can't fly away.
Anthony Trollope
It is very hard, that necessity of listening to a man who says nothing
Anthony Trollope
Satire, though it may exaggerate the vice it lashes, is not justified in creating it in order that it may be lashed.
Anthony Trollope
A small daily task, if it be really daily, will beat the labours of a spasmodic Hercules.
Anthony Trollope
When any practice has become the fixed rule of the society in which we live, it is always wise to adhere to that rule, unless it call upon us to do something that is actually wrong. One should not offend the prejudices of the world, even if one is quite sure that they are prejudices.
Anthony Trollope
The true picture of life as it is, if it could be adequately painted, would show men what they are, and how they might rise, not, indeed to perfection, but one step first, and then another on the ladder.
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
Men who can succeed in deceiving no one else, will succeed at last in deceiving themselves.
Anthony Trollope
It's dogged as does it. It ain't thinking about it.
Anthony Trollope
Take away from English authors their copyrights, and you would very soon take away from England her authors.
