More quotes by Anthony Trollope
There is nothing more tyrannical than a strong popular feeling among a democratic people.
Anthony Trollope
The true picture of life as it is, if it could be adequately painted, would show men what they are, and how they might rise, not, indeed to perfection, but one step first, and then another on the ladder.
Anthony Trollope
What is there that money will not do?
Anthony Trollope
As to that leisure evening of life, I must say that I do not want it. I can conceive of no contentment of which toil is not to be the immediate parent.
Anthony Trollope
I never knew a government yet that wanted to do anything.
Anthony Trollope
It is the test of a novel writer's art that he conceal his snake-in-the-grass but the reader may be sure that it is always there.

On board ship there are many sources of joy of which the land knows nothing. You may flirt and dance at sixty and if you are awkward in the turn of a valse, you may put it down to the motion of the ship. You need wear no gloves, and may drink your soda-and-brandy without being ashamed of it.
Anthony Trollope
He must have known me if he had seen me as he was wont to see me, for he was in the habit of flogging me constantly. Perhaps he did not recognize me by my face.
Anthony Trollope
I doubt whether any girl would be satisfied with her lover's mind if she knew the whole of it.
Anthony Trollope
When young Mark Robarts was leaving college, his father might well declare that all men began to say all good things to him, and to extol his fortune in that he had a son blessed with so excellent a disposition.
Anthony Trollope
Men are cowards before women until they become tyrants.
Anthony Trollope
Easy reading requires hard writing.
Anthony Trollope
Money is neither god nor devil, that it should make one noble and another vile. It is an accident, and if honestly possessed, may pass from you to me, or from me to you, without a stain.
Anthony Trollope
The greatest mistake any man ever made is to suppose that the good things of the world are not worth the winning.
Anthony Trollope
The habit of writing clearly soon comes to the writer who is a severe critic to himself.
Anthony Trollope
To feel that your hours are filled to overflowing, that you can barely steal minutes enough for sleep, that the welfare of many is entrusted to you, that the world looks on and approves, that some good is always being done to others -- above all things some good to your country -- that is happiness.
Anthony Trollope
