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
Oxford is the most dangerous place to which a young man can be sent.
Anthony Trollope
