More quotes by Anthony Trollope
I doubt whether any girl would be satisfied with her lover's mind if she knew the whole of it.
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
Those who offend us are generally punished for the offence they give but we so frequently miss the satisfaction of knowing that we are avenged !.
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
Considering how much we are all given to discuss the characters of others, and discuss them often not in the strictest spirit of charity, it is singular how little we are inclined to think that others can speak ill-naturedly of us, and how angry and hurt we are when proof reaches us that they have done so.
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
As to that leisure evening of life, I must say that I do not want it. I can conceive of no contentment of which toil is not to be the immediate parent.
Anthony Trollope
This at least should be a rule through the letter-writing world: that no angry letter be posted till four-and-twenty hours will have elapsed since it was written.
Anthony Trollope
The end of a novel, like the end of a children's dinner-party, must be made up of sweetmeats and sugar-plums.
Anthony Trollope
It is a comfortable feeling to know that you stand on your own ground. Land is about the only thing that can't fly away.
Anthony Trollope
Satire, though it may exaggerate the vice it lashes, is not justified in creating it in order that it may be lashed.
Anthony Trollope
It's dogged as does it. It ain't thinking about it.
Anthony Trollope
Though they were Liberals they were not democrats nor yet infidels.
Anthony Trollope
The habit of writing clearly soon comes to the writer who is a severe critic to himself.
Anthony Trollope
Cham is the only thing to screw one up when one is down a peg.
Anthony Trollope
Your man with a thin skin, a vehement ambition, a scrupulous conscience, and a sanguine desire for rapid improvement is never a happy, and seldom a fortunate politician.
Anthony Trollope
A physician should take his fee without letting his left hand know what his right is doing it should be taken without a thought, without a look, without a move of the facial muscles the true physician should hardly be aware that the last friendly grasp of the hand has been made more precious by the touch of gold
Anthony Trollope
There is no royal road to learning no short cut to the acquirement of any art.
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
There are some points on which no man can be contented to follow the advice of another - some subjects on which a man can consult his own conscience only.
Anthony Trollope
