More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Our greatest fears lie in anticipation.
Honore de Balzac
One of the most detestable habits of Lilliputian minds is to find their own littleness in others.
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
Thought is a key to all treasures the miser's gains are ours without his cares. Thus I have soared above this world, where my enjoyments have been intellectual joys.
Honore de Balzac
Where poverty ceases, avarice begins.
Honore de Balzac
He hesitated till the last moment, but finally dropped them in the box, saying, I shall win!--the cry of a gambler, the cry of the great general, the compulsive cry that has ruined more men than it has ever saved.
Honore de Balzac
Ideas devour the ages as men are devoured by their passions. When man is cured, human nature will cure itself perhaps.
Honore de Balzac
Creole women take after Europe in their intelligence, after the Tropics in the illogical violence of their passions, and after the Indies in the apathetic indolence with which they commit or suffer good and evil.
Honore de Balzac
Noble hearts are neither jealous nor afraid because jealousy spells doubt and fear spells pettiness.
Honore de Balzac
Show me the woman, however loyal, who does not seek to rouse desire.
Honore de Balzac
There are no principles there are only events. There is no good and bad, there are only circumstances.
Honore de Balzac
The mind, too, has its regimen. It needs gymnastics, just like the body does.
Honore de Balzac
Love is precisely to the moral nature what the sun is to the earth.
Honore de Balzac
A married woman is a slave you must know how to seat upon a throne.
Honore de Balzac
A penniless man who has no ties to bind him is master of himself at any rate, but a luckless wretch who is in love no longer belongs to himself, and may not take his own life. Love makes us almost sacred in our own eyes it is the life of another that we revere within us then and so begins for us the cruelest trouble of all.
Honore de Balzac
Remorse is impotence, impotence which sins again. Repentance alone is powerful it ends all.
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
Un homme n'a jamais pu e lever sa ma|tresse jusqu'a' lui mais une femme place toujours son amant aussi haut qu'elle. A man can never elevate his mistress to his rank, but a woman can always place her lover as high as she.
Honore de Balzac
Towns find it as hard as houses of business to rise again from ruin.
Honore de Balzac
No man has ever yet discovered the way to give friendly advice to any woman, not even to his own wife.
Honore de Balzac
