More quotes by Honore de Balzac
When an intelligent man reaches the point of inviting self-explanation and offers surrendering the key to his heart, he is assuredly riding a drunken horse.
Honore de Balzac
Political liberty, the peace of a nation, and science itself are gifts for which Fate demands a heavy tax in blood!
Honore de Balzac
Liberty begets anarchy, anarchy leads to despotism, and despotism brings about liberty once again. Millions of human beings have perished without being able to make any of these systems triumph.
Honore de Balzac
Nothing is a greater impediment to being on good terms with others than being ill at ease with yourself.
Honore de Balzac
To man, faith to woman, doubt. She bears the heavier burden. Does not woman invariably suffer for two?
Honore de Balzac
Everybody all over the world takes a wife's estimate into account in forming an opinion of a man.
Honore de Balzac
A jealous husband doesnt doubt his wife, but himself.
Honore de Balzac
The man who enters his wife's dressing room is either a philosopher or a fool.
Honore de Balzac
Marriage is an institution necessary to the maintenance of society but contrary to the laws of nature.
Honore de Balzac
Fools gain greater advantages through their weakness than intelligent men through their strength. We watch a great man struggling against fate and we do not lift a finger to help him. But we patronize a grocer who is headed for bankruptcy.
Honore de Balzac
Clothes are like a gloss that sets off everything dresser were invented more to enhance physical advantages than to veil physical defects.
Honore de Balzac
In the medical profession a horse and carriage are more necessary than any scientific knowledge.
Honore de Balzac
When law becomes despotic, morals are relaxed, and vice versa.
Honore de Balzac
It would be curious to know what leads a man to become a stationer rather than a baker, when he is no longer compelled, as among the Egyptians, to succeed to his father's craft.
Honore de Balzac
If the human heart sometimes finds moments of pause as it ascends the slopes of affection, it rarely halts on the way down.
Honore de Balzac
Danger arouses interest. Where death is involved, the vilest criminal invariably stirs a little compassion.
Honore de Balzac
There is a cure for temptation. What? Yielding to it.
Honore de Balzac
Admiration bestowed upon any one but ourselves is always tedious.
Honore de Balzac
A courage which looks easy & yet is rare the courage of a teacher repeating day after day the same lessons - the least rewarded of all forms of courage.
Honore de Balzac
A woman, even a prude, is not long at a loss, however dire her plight. She would seen always to have in hand the fig leaf our Mother Eve bequeathed to her.
