"I
judge a man by his actions with men, much more than by his declarations
Godwards — When I find him to be envious, carping, spiteful, hating the
successes of others, and complaining that the world has never done enough for
him, I am apt to doubt whether his humility before God will atone for his want
of manliness.”—British novelist Anthony Trollope in a letter to G. W. Rusden,
June 8, 1876, quoted in The Letters of Anthony Trollope: Volume Two, 1871-1882, edited by N. John Hall (1983)Sunday, February 1, 2015
