There are some achievements ...

There are some achievements which are never done in the presence of those who hear of them. Catching salmon is one, and working all night is another.

Quotes from the same author

Men are cowards before women until they become tyrants.
 Anthony Trollope
Of course, Lady Arabella could not suckle the young heir herself. Ladies Arabella never can. They are gifted with the powers of being mothers, but not nursing mothers. Nature gives them bosoms for show, but not for use. So Lady Arabella had a wet-nurse.

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.

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