More quotes by Anthony Trollope
The good and the bad mix themselves so thoroughly in our thoughts, even in our aspirations, that we must look for excellence rather in overcoming evil than in freeing ourselves from its influence.
Anthony Trollope
But facts always convince, and another man's opinion rarely convinces.
Anthony Trollope
You men find so many angels in your travels. You have been honester than some. You have generally been off with the old angel before you were with the new, as far at least as I knew.
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
Things to be done offer themselves, I suppose, because they are in themselves desirable not because it is desirable to have something to do.
Anthony Trollope
If we wish ourselves to be high, we should treat that which is over us as high.
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
When any practice has become the fixed rule of the society in which we live, it is always wise to adhere to that rule, unless it call upon us to do something that is actually wrong. One should not offend the prejudices of the world, even if one is quite sure that they are prejudices.
Anthony Trollope
It has become a certainty now that if you will only advertise sufficiently you may make a fortune by selling anything.
Anthony Trollope
He possessed the rare merit of making a property of his time and not a burden.
Anthony Trollope
A fellow oughtn't to let his family property go to pieces.
Anthony Trollope
Though they were Liberals they were not democrats nor yet infidels.
Anthony Trollope
A small daily task, if it be really daily, will beat the labours of a spasmodic Hercules.
Anthony Trollope
There is no road to wealth so easy and respectable as that of matrimony.
Anthony Trollope
I doubt whether any girl would be satisfied with her lover's mind if she knew the whole of it.
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
Never let the estate decrease in your hands. It is only by such resolutions as that that English noblemen and English gentlemen can preserve their country. I cannot bear to see property changing hands.
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
The satirist who writes nothing but satire should write but little - or it will seem that his satire springs rather from his own caustic nature than from the sins of the world in which he lives.
Anthony Trollope
It is a comfortable feeling to know that you stand on your own ground. Land is about the only thing that can't fly away.
Anthony Trollope
