More quotes by 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 man who worships mere wealth is a snob.
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
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
It would seem that the full meaning of the word marriage can never be known by those who, at their first outspring into life, are surrounded by all that money can give. It requires the single sitting-room, the single fire, the necessary little efforts of self-devotion, the inward declaration that some struggle shall be made for that other one.
Anthony Trollope
Life is so unlike theory.
Anthony Trollope
A Minister can always give a reason and, if he be clever, he can generally when doing so punish the man who asks for it. The punishing of an influential enemy is an indiscretion but an obscure questioner may often be crushed with good effect.
Anthony Trollope
I believe journalism is coming to be regarded as quite a respectable occupation for gentlemen nowadays.
Anthony Trollope
But as the clerical pretensions are more exacting than all others, being put forward with an assertion that no answer is possible without breach of duty and sin, so are they more galling.
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
We can generally read a man's purpose towards us in his manner, if his purposes are of much moment to us.
Anthony Trollope
What is there that money will not do?
Anthony Trollope
If we wish ourselves to be high, we should treat that which is over us as high.
Anthony Trollope
If a cook can't make soup between two and seven, she can't make it in a week.
Anthony Trollope
It is admitted that a novel can hardly be made interesting or successful without love? It is necessary because the passion is one which interests or has interested all. Everyone feels it, has felt it, or expects to feel it.
Anthony Trollope
Men who can succeed in deceiving no one else, will succeed at last in deceiving themselves.
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
An enemy might at any time become a friend, but while an enemy was an enemy he should be trodden on and persecuted.
Anthony Trollope
When a man is ill nothing is so important to him as his own illness.
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
