More quotes by Anthony Trollope
The habit of writing clearly soon comes to the writer who is a severe critic to himself.
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
Poverty, to be picturesque, should be rural. Suburban misery is as hideous as it is pitiable.
Anthony Trollope
A small daily task, if it be really daily, will beat the labours of a spasmodic Hercules.

Anthony Trollope
If a cook can't make soup between two and seven, she can't make it in a week.
Anthony Trollope
If we wish ourselves to be high, we should treat that which is over us as high.
Anthony Trollope
That I can read and be happy while I am reading, is a great blessing.
Anthony Trollope
I never knew a government yet that wanted to do anything.
Anthony Trollope
It is no good any longer having any opinion upon anything.
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
An author must be nothing if he do not love truth a barrister must be nothing if he do.
Anthony Trollope
There is nothing more tyrannical than a strong popular feeling among a democratic people.
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.

I ain't a bit ashamed of anything.
Anthony Trollope
