More quotes by Anthony Trollope
Don't let love interfere with your appetite. It never does with mine.
Anthony Trollope
Rights and rules, which are bonds of iron to a little man, are packthread to a giant.
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
I have no ambition to surprise my reader. Castles with unknown passages are not compatible with my homely muse.
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
What man thinks of changing himself so as to suit his wife?
Anthony Trollope
When any practice has become the fixed rule of the society in which we live, it is always wise to adhere to that rule, unless it call upon us to do something that is actually wrong. One should not offend the prejudices of the world, even if one is quite sure that they are prejudices.
Anthony Trollope
The man who worships mere wealth is a snob.
Anthony Trollope
Heroes in books should be so much better than heroes got up for the world's common wear and tear
Anthony Trollope
There are worse things than a lie... I have found... that it may be well to choose one sin in order that another may be shunned.
Anthony Trollope
There is no happiness in love, except at the end of an English novel.
Anthony Trollope
Never let the estate decrease in your hands. It is only by such resolutions as that that English noblemen and English gentlemen can preserve their country. I cannot bear to see property changing hands.
Anthony Trollope
Speeches easy to young speakers are generally very difficult to old listeners.
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
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
You men find so many angels in your travels. You have been honester than some. You have generally been off with the old angel before you were with the new, as far at least as I knew.
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
Success is a poison that should only be taken late in life and then only in small doses.
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
A husband is very much like a house or a horse.
Anthony Trollope
