Upon the present occasion London was full of clergymen. The specially clerical clubs, the Oxford and Cambridge, the Old University, and the Athenaeum, were black with them.

More quotes by Anthony Trollope
Gentlemen lacking substantial sympathy with their leader found it to be comfortable to deceive themselves, and raise their hearts at the same time by the easy enthusiasm of noise.
Anthony Trollope
It is the necessary nature of a political party in this country to avoid, as long as it can be avoided, the consideration of any question which involves a great change.
Anthony Trollope
Above all else, never think you're not good enough.
Anthony Trollope
If you cross the Atlantic with an American lady you invariably fall in love with her before the journey is over. Travel with the same woman in a railway car for twelve hours, and you will have written her down in your own mind in quite other language than that of love.
Anthony Trollope
Success is a poison that should only be taken late in life and then only in small doses.
Anthony Trollope
There was but one thing for him- to persevere till he got her, or till he had finally lost her. And should the latter be his fate, as he began to fear that it would be, then, he would live, but live only, like a crippled man.
Anthony Trollope
As to happiness in this life it is hardly compatible with that diminished respect which ever attends the relinquishing of labour.
Anthony Trollope
I have sometimes thought that there is no being so venomous, so bloodthirsty as a professed philanthropist.
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.
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
Short accounts make long friends.
Anthony Trollope
The best education is to be had at a price, as well as the best broadcloth.
Anthony Trollope
No one can depute authority. It comes too much from personal accidents, and too little from reason or law to be handed over to others.
Anthony Trollope
When I sit down to write a novel I do not at all know, and I do not very much care, how it is to end.
Anthony Trollope
I never believe anything that a lawyer says when he has a wig on his head and a fee in his hand. I prepare myself beforehand to regard it all as mere words, supplied at so much the thousand. I know he'll say whatever he thinks most likely to forward his own views.
Anthony Trollope
There is no road to wealth so easy and respectable as that of matrimony.
Anthony Trollope
I ain't a bit ashamed of anything.
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
There is nothing perhaps so generally consoling to a man as a well-established grievance a feeling of having been injured, on which his mind can brood from hour to hour, allowing him to plead his own cause in his own court, within his own heart, and always to plead it successfully.
Anthony Trollope
Flirting I take to be the excitement of love, without its reality, and without its ordinary result in marriage.
Anthony Trollope
