More quotes by Anthony Trollope
He was essentially a truth-speaking man, if only he know how to speak the truth.
Anthony Trollope
Short accounts make long friends.
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
There is no happiness in love, except at the end of an English novel.
Anthony Trollope
Though they were Liberals they were not democrats nor yet infidels.
Anthony Trollope
When men think much, they can rarely decide.
Anthony Trollope
There is no royal road to learning no short cut to the acquirement of any art.
Anthony Trollope
Equality would be a heaven, if we could attain it.
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
Romance is very pretty in novels, but the romance of a life is always a melancholy matter. They are most happy who have no story to tell.
Anthony Trollope
It may, indeed, be assumed that a man who loses his temper while he is speaking is endeavouring to speak the truth such as he believes it to be, and again it may be assumed that a man who speaks constantly without losing his temper is not always entitled to the same implicit faith.
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
There is such a difference between life and theory.
Anthony Trollope
There is no road to wealth so easy and respectable as that of matrimony.
Anthony Trollope
Fame is a skittish jade, more fickle even than Fortune, and apt to shy, and bolt, and plunge away on very trifling causes.
Anthony Trollope
The man who worships mere wealth is a snob.
Anthony Trollope
People go on quarrelling and fancying this and that, and thinking that the world is full of romance and poetry. When they get married they know better.
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
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
It's dogged as does it. It ain't thinking about it.
