Honore de Balzac
The prodigality of millionaires is comparable only to their greed of gain. Let some whim or passion seize them and money is of no account. In fact these Croesuses find whims and passions harder to come by than gold.
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.
