More quotes by 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
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
There is no royal road to learning no short cut to the acquirement of any art.
Anthony Trollope
Take away from English authors their copyrights, and you would very soon take away from England her authors.
Anthony Trollope
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
Men who can succeed in deceiving no one else, will succeed at last in deceiving themselves.
Anthony Trollope
I doubt whether any girl would be satisfied with her lover's mind if she knew the whole of it.
Anthony Trollope
A Minister can always give a reason and, if he be clever, he can generally when doing so punish the man who asks for it. The punishing of an influential enemy is an indiscretion but an obscure questioner may often be crushed with good effect.
Anthony Trollope
Book love... is your pass to the greatest, the purest, and the most perfect pleasure that God has prepared for His creatures.
Anthony Trollope
The best education is to be had at a price, as well as the best broadcloth.
Anthony Trollope
But who ever yet was offered a secret and declined it?
Anthony Trollope
Above all else, never think you're not good enough.
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
The law is a great thing,--because men are poor and weak, and bad. And it is great, because where it exists in its strength, no tyrant can be above it. But between you and me there should be no mention of law as the guide of conduct. Speak to me of honour, and of duty, and of nobility and tell me what they require of you.
Anthony Trollope
Oxford is the most dangerous place to which a young man can be sent.
Anthony Trollope
My belief of book writing is much the same as my belief as to shoemaking. The man who will work the hardest at it, and will work with the most honest purpose, will work the best.
Anthony Trollope
The girl can look forward to little else than the chance of having a good man for her husband a good man, or if her tastes lie in that direction, a rich man.
Anthony Trollope
Why is it that when men and women congregate, though the men may beat the women in numbers by ten to one, and through they certainly speak the louder, the concrete sound that meets the ears of any outside listener is always a sound of women's voices?
Anthony Trollope
I have sometimes thought that there is no being so venomous, so bloodthirsty as a professed philanthropist.
Anthony Trollope
As to happiness in this life it is hardly compatible with that diminished respect which ever attends the relinquishing of labour.
