Satire, though it may exaggerate the vice it lashes, is not justified in creating it in order that it may be lashed.

Easy reading requires hard writing.

Upon the present occasion London was full of clergymen. The specially clerical clubs, the Oxford and Cambridge, the Old University, and the Athenaeum, were black with them.

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.

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

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.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

He must have known me if he h...

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.

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

There would be a blaze and a ...

There would be a blaze and a confusion, in which timid men would doubt whether the constitution would be burned to tinder or only illuminated; but that blaze and that confusion would be dear to Mr. Daubney if he could stand as the centre figure, the great pyrotechnist who did it all, red from head to foot with the glare of the squibs with which his own hands were filling all the spaces.

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.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

Credit is a matter so subtle ...

Credit is a matter so subtle in its essence, that, as it may be obtained almost without reason, so, without reason, may it be made to melt away.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

Heroes in books should be so ...

Heroes in books should be so much better than heroes got up for the world's common wear and tear

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

When I sit down to write a novel I do not at all know, and I do not very much care, how it is to end.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

That girls should not marry f...

That girls should not marry for money we are all agreed. A lady who can sell herself for a title or an estate, for an income or aset of family diamonds, treats herself as a farmer treats his sheep and oxen--makes hardly more of herself, of her own inner self, in which are comprised a mind and soul, than the poor wretch of her own sex who earns her bread in the lowest state of degradation.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

It is hard to conceive that the old, whose thoughts have been all thought out, should ever love to live alone. Solitude is surely for the young, who have time before them for the execution of schemes, and who can, therefore, take delight in thinking

Here in England the welfare of the State depends on the conduct of our aristocracy.

The sober devil can hide his cloven hoof; but when the devil drinks he loses his cunning and grows honest.

Antony Trollope 83 quotes

I have read - nay, I have bou...

I have read - nay, I have bought! - Carlyle's 'Latter Day Pamphlets,' and look on my eight shillings as very much thrown away. To me it appears that the grain of sense is so smothered up in a sack of the sheerest trash, that the former is valueless....I look on him as a man who was always in danger of going mad in literature and who has now done so.
