Caveat emptor is the only mot...

Caveat emptor is the only motto going, and the worst proverb that ever came from the dishonest stony-hearted Rome.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

An enemy might at any time be...

An enemy might at any time become a friend, but while an enemy was an enemy he should be trodden on and persecuted.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

Romance is very pretty in novels, but the romance of a life is always a melancholy matter. They are most happy who have no story to tell.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

If you cross the Atlantic wit...

If you cross the Atlantic with an American lady you invariably fall in love with her before the journey is over. Travel with the same woman in a railway car for twelve hours, and you will have written her down in your own mind in quite other language than that of love.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

In former days, when there we...

In former days, when there were Whigs instead of Liberals, it was almost a rule of political life that all leading Whigs sould be uncles, brothers-in-law, or cousins to each other. This was pleasant and gave great consistency to the party; but the system has now gone out of vogue.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

Is it not singular how some men continue to obtain the reputation of popular authorship without adding a word to the literature of their country worthy of note?? To puff and to get one's self puffed have become different branches of a new profession.

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.

I believe journalism is coming to be regarded as quite a respectable occupation for gentlemen nowadays.

Those who offend us are gener...

Those who offend us are generally punished for the offence they give; but we so frequently miss the satisfaction of knowing that we are avenged !.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

On board ship there are many ...

On board ship there are many sources of joy of which the land knows nothing. You may flirt and dance at sixty; and if you are awkward in the turn of a valse, you may put it down to the motion of the ship. You need wear no gloves, and may drink your soda-and-brandy without being ashamed of it.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

For themost of us, if we dono...

For themost of us, if we donot talkof ourselves, orat any rate of the individual circles of which we are the centres, we can talk of nothing. I cannot hold with those who wish to put down the insignificant chatter of the world.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

But facts always convince, and another man's opinion rarely convinces.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

There are words which a man cannot resist from a woman, even though he knows them to be false.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

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.

There are some points on which no man can be contented to follow the advice of another - some subjects on which a man can consult his own conscience only.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

When a man wants to write a book full of unassailable facts, he always goes to the British Museum.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

No living orator would convin...

No living orator would convince a grocer that coffee should be sold without chicory; and no amount of eloquence will make an English lawyer think that loyalty to truth should come before loyalty to his client.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

Mr Palliser was one of those ...

Mr Palliser was one of those politicians in possessing whom England has perhaps more reason to be proud than of any other of her resources, and who, as a body, give to her that exquisite combination of conservatism and progress which is her present strength and best security for the future.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

We all profess to believe whe...

We all profess to believe when we're told that this world should be used merely as a preparation for the next; and yet there is something so cold and comfortless in the theory that we do not relish the prospect even for our children.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

Men will love to the last, bu...

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.
