Anthony Trollope Famous Quotes



"Above all else, never think you're not good enough."

"Success is the necessary misfortune of life, but it is only to the very unfortunate that it comes early."

"I do not think myself to be a worm, and a grub, grass of the field fit only to be burned, a clod, a morsel of putrid atoms that should be thrown to the dungheap, ready for the nethermost pit. Nor if I did should I therefore expect to sit with Angels and Archangels."

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.
