More quotes by Anthony Trollope
It is no good any longer having any opinion upon anything.
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
When I sit down to write a novel I do not at all know, and I do not very much care, how it is to end.
Anthony Trollope
Gentlemen lacking substantial sympathy with their leader found it to be comfortable to deceive themselves, and raise their hearts at the same time by the easy enthusiasm of noise.
Anthony Trollope
Any one prominent in affairs can always see when a man may steal a horse and when a man may not look over a hedge.
Anthony Trollope
No one can depute authority. It comes too much from personal accidents, and too little from reason or law to be handed over to others.
Anthony Trollope
There is nothing perhaps so generally consoling to a man as a well-established grievance a feeling of having been injured, on which his mind can brood from hour to hour, allowing him to plead his own cause in his own court, within his own heart, and always to plead it successfully.
Anthony Trollope
As to that leisure evening of life, I must say that I do not want it. I can conceive of no contentment of which toil is not to be the immediate parent.
Anthony Trollope
Success is the necessary misfortune of life, but it is only to the very unfortunate that it comes early.
Anthony Trollope
One wants in a Prime Minister a good many things, but not very great things. He should be clever but need not be a genius he should be conscientious but by no means strait-laced he should be cautious but never timid, bold but never venturesome he should have a good digestion, genial manners, and, above all, a thick skin.
Anthony Trollope
Life is so unlike theory.
Anthony Trollope
It's dogged as does it. It ain't thinking about it.
Anthony Trollope
It would seem that the full meaning of the word marriage can never be known by those who, at their first outspring into life, are surrounded by all that money can give. It requires the single sitting-room, the single fire, the necessary little efforts of self-devotion, the inward declaration that some struggle shall be made for that other one.
Anthony Trollope
My sweetheart is to me more than a coined hemisphere.
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
An author must be nothing if he do not love truth a barrister must be nothing if he do.
Anthony Trollope
When one wants to be natural, of necessity one becomes the reverse of natural.
Anthony Trollope
Men are cowards before women until they become tyrants.
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
It is a grand thing to rise in the world. The ambition to do so is the very salt of the earth. It is the parent of all enterprise, and the cause of all improvement.
Anthony Trollope
