Anthony Trollope
When any body of statesmen make public asservations by one or various voices, that there is no discord among them, not a dissentient voice on any subject, people are apt to suppose that they cannot hang together much longer.
Anthony Trollope

One wants in a Prime Minister a good many things, but not very great things.

Anthony Trollope
When men think much, they can rarely decide.
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.
