More quotes by Anthony Trollope
When you have done the rashest thing in the world it is very pleasant to be told that no man of spirit could have acted otherwise.
Anthony Trollope
In former days, when there were Whigs instead of Liberals, it was almost a rule of political life that all leading Whigs sould be uncles, brothers-in-law, or cousins to each other. This was pleasant and gave great consistency to the party but the system has now gone out of vogue.
Anthony Trollope
Taken altogether, Washington as a city is most unsatisfactory, and falls more grievously short of the thing attempted than any other of the great undertakings of which I have seen anything in the United States.
Anthony Trollope
When a man wants to write a book full of unassailable facts, he always goes to the British Museum.
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
Lord Chiltern recognizes the great happiness of having a grievance. It would be a pity that so great a blessing should be thrown away upon him.
Anthony Trollope
Things to be done offer themselves, I suppose, because they are in themselves desirable not because it is desirable to have something to do.
Anthony Trollope
The best education is to be had at a price, as well as the best broadcloth.
Anthony Trollope
It is very difficult to say nowadays where the suburbs of London come to an end and where the country begins. The railways, instead of enabling Londoners to live in the country have turned the countryside into a city.
Anthony Trollope
When young Mark Robarts was leaving college, his father might well declare that all men began to say all good things to him, and to extol his fortune in that he had a son blessed with so excellent a disposition.
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
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
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
It's dogged as does it. It ain't thinking about it.
Anthony Trollope
Flirting I take to be the excitement of love, without its reality, and without its ordinary result in marriage.
Anthony Trollope
Of course, Lady Arabella could not suckle the young heir herself. Ladies Arabella never can. They are gifted with the powers of being mothers, but not nursing mothers. Nature gives them bosoms for show, but not for use. So Lady Arabella had a wet-nurse.
Anthony Trollope
It is no good any longer having any opinion upon anything.
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
The idea of putting old Browborough into prison for conduct which habit had made second nature to a large proportion of the House was distressing to Members of Parliament generally.
Anthony Trollope
It is the test of a novel writer's art that he conceal his snake-in-the-grass but the reader may be sure that it is always there.
