Success is the necessary misfortune of life, but it is only to the very unfortunate that it comes early.
Anthony Trollope
Image
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.

I think I owe my life to cork soles.
Anthony Trollope
Image
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
Image
Rights and rules, which are bonds of iron to a little man, are packthread to a giant.
Anthony Trollope
Image
A fellow oughtn't to let his family property go to pieces.
Anthony Trollope
Image
Flirting I take to be the excitement of love, without its reality, and without its ordinary result in marriage.
Anthony Trollope
Image
But who ever yet was offered a secret and declined it?

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.
