Anthony Trollope
But as the clerical pretensions are more exacting than all others, being put forward with an assertion that no answer is possible without breach of duty and sin, so are they more galling.
Anthony Trollope
If a cook can't make soup between two and seven, she can't make it in a week.
Anthony Trollope
When one wants to be natural, of necessity one becomes the reverse of natural.
Anthony Trollope
I have sometimes thought that there is no being so venomous, so bloodthirsty as a professed philanthropist.
Anthony Trollope
A small daily task, if it be really daily, will beat the labours of a spasmodic Hercules.
Anthony Trollope
Since woman's rights have come up a young woman is better able to fight her own battle.
Anthony Trollope
The habit of writing clearly soon comes to the writer who is a severe critic to himself.
Anthony Trollope
