Anthony Trollope

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

"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. "

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