More quotes by Anthony Trollope
I judge a man by his actions with men, much more than by his declarations Godwards - When I find him to be envious, carping, spiteful, hating the successes of others, and complaining that the world has never done enough for him, I am apt to doubt whether his humility before God will atone for his want of manliness.
Anthony Trollope

As will so often be the case when a men has a pen in his hand. It is like a club or sledge-hammer, - in using which, either for defence or attack, a man can hardly measure the strength of the blows he gives.
Anthony Trollope
She was as one who, in madness, was resolute to throw herself from a precipice, but to whom some remnant of sanity remained which forced her to seek those who would save her from herself.
Anthony Trollope
Of all the needs a book has the chief need is that it be readable.
Anthony Trollope
I think I owe my life to cork soles.
Anthony Trollope
Let a man be of what side he may in politics, unless he be much more of a partisan than a patriot, he will think it well that there should be some equity of division in the bestowal of crumbs of comfort.
Anthony Trollope
When a man is ill nothing is so important to him as his own illness.
Anthony Trollope
Men and not measures are, no doubt, the very life of politics. But then it is not the fashion to say so in public places.
Anthony Trollope
It is very hard, that necessity of listening to a man who says nothing
Anthony Trollope
It is self-evident that at sixty-five a man has done all that he is fit to do.
