Let a man be of what side he ...

Let a man be of what side he may in politics, unless he be much more of a partisan than a patriot, he will think it well that there should be some equity of division in the bestowal of crumbs of comfort.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

When the little dog snarls, t...

When the little dog snarls, the big dog does not connect the snarl with himself, simply fancying that the little dog must be uncomfortable.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

Men are cowards before women ...

Men are cowards before women until they become tyrants.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

The greatest mistake any man ...

The greatest mistake any man ever made is to suppose that the good things of the world are not worth the winning.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

The girl can look forward to ...

The girl can look forward to little else than the chance of having a good man for her husband; a good man, or if her tastes lie in that direction, a rich man.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

Considering how much we are a...

Considering how much we are all given to discuss the characters of others, and discuss them often not in the strictest spirit of charity, it is singular how little we are inclined to think that others can speak ill-naturedly of us, and how angry and hurt we are when proof reaches us that they have done so.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

I hate a stupid man who can't...

I hate a stupid man who can't talk to me, and I hate a clever man who talks me down. I don’t like a man who is too lazy to make any effort to shine; but I particularly dislike the man who is always striving for effect. I abominate a humble man, but yet I love to perceive that a man acknowledges the superiority of my sex, and youth and all that kind of thing. . . A man who would tell me that I am pretty, unless he is over seventy, ought to be kicked out of the room. But a man who can't show me that he thinks me so without saying a word about it, is a lout.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

But the school in which good ...

But the school in which good training is most practiced will, as a rule, turn out the best scholars.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

One can only pour out of a jug that which is in it.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

What on earth could be more l...

What on earth could be more luxurious than a sofa, a book, and a cup of coffee?...Was ever anything so civil?

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

The secrets of the world are ...

The secrets of the world are very marvellous, but they are not themselves half so wonderful as the way in which they become known to the world.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

But then the pastors and men ...

But then the pastors and men of God can only be human,--cannot altogether be men of God; and so they have oppressed us, and burned us, and tortured us, and hence come to love palaces, and fine linen, and purple, and, alas, sometimes, mere luxury and idleness.

Speeches easy to young speakers are generally very difficult to old listeners.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

I have sometimes thought that...

I have sometimes thought that there is no being so venomous, so bloodthirsty as a professed philanthropist.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

This habit of reading, I make...

This habit of reading, I make bold to tell you, is your pass to the greatest, the purest, and the most perfect pleasure that God has prepared for His creatures. It lasts when all other pleasures fade. It will support you when all other recreations are gone. It will last until your death. It will make your hours pleasant to you as long as you live.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

The habit of reading is the o...

The habit of reading is the only one I know in which there is no alloy. It lasts when all other pleasures fade.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

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.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

One wants in a Prime Minister...

One wants in a Prime Minister a good many things, but not very great things. He should be clever but need not be a genius; he should be conscientious but by no means strait-laced; he should be cautious but never timid, bold but never venturesome; he should have a good digestion, genial manners, and, above all, a thick skin.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

Never let the estate decrease...

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.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

Nobody holds a good opinion of a man who has a low opinion of himself.
