More quotes by Anthony Trollope
To feel that your hours are filled to overflowing, that you can barely steal minutes enough for sleep, that the welfare of many is entrusted to you, that the world looks on and approves, that some good is always being done to others -- above all things some good to your country -- that is happiness.
Anthony Trollope
I believe journalism is coming to be regarded as quite a respectable occupation for gentlemen nowadays.
Anthony Trollope
The natural man will probably be manly. The affected man cannot be so.
Anthony Trollope
When a man is ill nothing is so important to him as his own illness.
Anthony Trollope
Don't let love interfere with your appetite. It never does with mine.
Anthony Trollope
People go on quarrelling and fancying this and that, and thinking that the world is full of romance and poetry. When they get married they know better.
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.

Anthony Trollope
Heroes in books should be so much better than heroes got up for the world's common wear and tear
Anthony Trollope
As will so often be the case when a men has a pen in his hand. It is like a club or sledge-hammer, - in using which, either for defence or attack, a man can hardly measure the strength of the blows he gives.
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
Equality would be a heaven, if we could attain it.
Anthony Trollope
Beware of creating tedium!
Anthony Trollope
Though they were Liberals they were not democrats nor yet infidels.
Anthony Trollope
It is no good any longer having any opinion upon anything.
Anthony Trollope
It may almost be a question whether such wisdom as many of us have in our mature years has not come from the dying out of the power of temptation, rather than as the results of thought and resolution.
Anthony Trollope
The greatest mistake any man ever made is to suppose that the good things of the world are not worth the winning.
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
