More quotes by Honore de Balzac
In a husband, there is only a man in a married woman, there is a man, a father, a mother and a woman.
Honore de Balzac
The world will avenge itself upon all happiness in which it has no share.
Honore de Balzac
Nothing is so discreet as a young face, for nothing is less mobile it has the serenity, the surface smoothness, and the freshnessof a lake. There is no character in women's faces before the age of thirty.
Honore de Balzac
A man who stops at nothing short of the law is very clever indeed!
Honore de Balzac
Passions are no more forgiving than human laws and they reason more justly. Are they not based on a conscience of their own, infallible as an instinct?
Honore de Balzac
Love is precisely to the moral nature what the sun is to the earth.
Honore de Balzac
Yes, I can understand that a man might go to a gambling table when he sees that all that lies between him and death is his last crown.
Honore de Balzac
No woman allows her lover to descend from his pedestal. Even a god is not forgiven the slightest pettiness.
Honore de Balzac
A good husband is never the first to go to sleep at night or the last to awake in the morning.
Honore de Balzac
We exaggerate misfortune and happiness alike. We are never as bad off or as happy as we say we are.
Honore de Balzac
When you doubt your power, you give power to your doubt.
Honore de Balzac
During the great storms of our lives we imitate those captains who jettison their weightiest cargo.
Honore de Balzac
As a rule, only the poor are generous.
Honore de Balzac
Thanks to the toleration preached by the encyclopedists of the eighteenth century, the sorcerer is exempt from torture.
Honore de Balzac
The smallest flower is a thought, a life answering to some feature of the Great Whole, of whom they have a persistent intuition.
Honore de Balzac
The good we do to others is spoilt unless we efface ourselves so completely that those we help have no sense of inferiority.
Honore de Balzac
Who shall ever tell how much an unmerited disfavor crushes a shy person? Who can ever depict the misfortunes of timidity?
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
It is quite right what they say: the three most beautiful sights in the world are a ship in full sail, a galloping horse, and a woman dancing.
Honore de Balzac
All genuinely noble women prefer truth to falsehood. As the Russians with their Czar, they are unwilling to see their idol degraded they want to be proud of the domination they accept.
Honore de Balzac
