Things to be done offer thems...

Things to be done offer themselves, I suppose, because they are in themselves desirable; not because it is desirable to have something to do.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

Never think that you're not g...

Never think that you're not good enough yourself. A man should never think that. People will take you very much at your own reckoning.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

Fortune favors the brave; and...

Fortune favors the brave; and the world certainly gives the most credit to those who are able to give an unlimited credit to themselves.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

Nothing surely is as potent a...

Nothing surely is as potent as a law that may not be disobeyed. It has the force of the water drop that hollows the stone. A small dainty task, if it be really daily, will beat the labours of a spasmodic Hercules.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

But who ever yet was offered ...

But who ever yet was offered a secret and declined it?

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

Money is neither god nor devi...

Money is neither god nor devil, that it should make one noble and another vile. It is an accident, and if honestly possessed, may pass from you to me, or from me to you, without a stain.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

The circumstances seemed to b...

The circumstances seemed to be simple; but they who understood such matters declared that the duration of a trial depended a great deal more on the public interest felt in the matter than upon its own nature.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

Wine is valued for its price,...

Wine is valued for its price, not its flavor.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

Such young men are often awkw...

Such young men are often awkward, ungainly, and not yet formed in their gait; they straggle with their limbs, and are shy; words do not come to them with ease, when words are required, among any but their accustomed associates. Social meetings are periods of penance to them, and any appearance in public will unnerve them. They go much about alone, and blush when women speak to them. In truth, they are not as yet men, whatever the number may be of their years; and, as they are no longer boys, the world has found for them the ungraceful name of hobbledehoy.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

Why is it that when men and w...

Why is it that when men and women congregate, though the men may beat the women in numbers by ten to one, and through they certainly speak the louder, the concrete sound that meets the ears of any outside listener is always a sound of women's voices?

I don't like anybody or anyth...

I don't like anybody or anything," said Lucinda. Yes, you do;--you like horses to ride, and dresses to wear.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

A man who is supposed to have...

A man who is supposed to have caused a disturbance between two married people, in a certain rank of life, does generally receive a certain meed of admiration.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

A pleasant letter I hold to be the pleasantest thing that this world has to give.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

Would it not be better to go ...

Would it not be better to go home and live at the family park all the year round, and hunt, and attend Quarter Sessions, and be able to declare morning and evening with a clear conscience that the country was going to the dogs? Such was the mental working of many a Conservative who supported Mr. Daubeny on this occasion.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

Of Dickens' style it is impos...

Of Dickens' style it is impossible to speak in praise. It is jerky, ungrammatical, and created by himself in defiance of rules... No young novelist should ever dare to imitate the style of Dickens.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

That I can read and be happy ...

That I can read and be happy while I am reading, is a great blessing. Could I have remembered, as some men do, what I read, I should have been able to call myself an educated man. But that power I have never possessed. Something is always left--something dim and inaccurate--but still something sufficient to preserve the taste for more. I am inclined to think that it is so with most readers.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

There was but one thing for h...

There was but one thing for him;- to persevere till he got her, or till he had finally lost her. And should the latter be his fate, as he began to fear that it would be, then, he would live, but live only, like a crippled man.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

My belief of book writing is ...

My belief of book writing is much the same as my belief as to shoemaking. The man who will work the hardest at it, and will work with the most honest purpose, will work the best.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

Words spoken cannot be recall...

Words spoken cannot be recalled, and many a man and many a woman who has spoken a word at once regretted, are far too proud to express that regret.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

A bull in a china shop is not...

A bull in a china shop is not a useful animal, nor is he ornamental, but there can be no doubt of his energy. The hare was full of energy, but he didn't win the race. The man who stands still is the man who keeps his ground.
