Anthony Trollope
Above all else, never think you're not good enough.

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
Men will love to the last, but they love what is fresh and new. A woman's love can live on the recollection of the past, and cling to what is old and ugly.
Anthony Trollope
If a cook can't make soup between two and seven, she can't make it in a week.
Anthony Trollope
I ain't a bit ashamed of anything.
