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

Anthony Trollope
It is very hard, that necessity of listening to a man who says nothing
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
A husband is very much like a house or a horse.
Anthony Trollope
Easy reading requires hard writing.
Anthony Trollope
The best education is to be had at a price, as well as the best broadcloth.
