More quotes by 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
He possessed the rare merit of making a property of his time and not a burden.
Anthony Trollope
Easy reading requires hard writing.
Anthony Trollope
It is my purpose to disclose the mystery at once, and to ask you to look for your interest,--should you choose to go on with my chronicle,--simply in the conduct of my persons, during this disclosure to others.
Anthony Trollope
Your man with a thin skin, a vehement ambition, a scrupulous conscience, and a sanguine desire for rapid improvement is never a happy, and seldom a fortunate politician.
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
It is admitted that a novel can hardly be made interesting or successful without love? It is necessary because the passion is one which interests or has interested all. Everyone feels it, has felt it, or expects to feel it.
Anthony Trollope
The happiest man is he, who being above the troubles which money brings, has his hands the fullest of work.
Anthony Trollope
There was but one thing for him- to persevere till he got her, or till he had finally lost her. And should the latter be his fate, as he began to fear that it would be, then, he would live, but live only, like a crippled man.
Anthony Trollope
Romance is very pretty in novels, but the romance of a life is always a melancholy matter. They are most happy who have no story to tell.
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
No man thinks there is much ado about nothing when the ado is about himself.
Anthony Trollope
Life is so unlike theory.
Anthony Trollope
It is the necessary nature of a political party in this country to avoid, as long as it can be avoided, the consideration of any question which involves a great change.
Anthony Trollope
A small daily task, if it be really daily, will beat the labours of a spasmodic Hercules.
Anthony Trollope
I am ready to obey as a child :but, not being a child, I think I ought to have a reason.
Anthony Trollope
A woman's life is not perfect or whole till she has added herself to a husband. Nor is a man's life perfect or whole till he has added to himself a wife.
Anthony Trollope
Passionate love, I take it, rarely lasts long, and is very troublesome while it does last. Mutual esteem is very much more valuable.
Anthony Trollope
Many people talk much, and then very many people talk very much more.
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.
