Honore de Balzac
How fondly swindlers coddle their dupes! No mother is as caressing or thoughtful towards her adored child as a merchant in hypocrisy toward his milch-cow.
Honore de Balzac
The duration of a couple's passion is in proportion to the woman's original resistance or to the obstacles that social hazards have placed in the way of her happiness.
Honore de Balzac
What is motherhood save Nature in her most gladsome mood?
Honore de Balzac
The virtues we acquire, which develop slowly within us, are the invisible links that bind each one of our existences to the others - existences which the spirit alone remembers, for Matter has no memory for spiritual things.
Honore de Balzac
Bureaucracy is a giant mechanism operated by pygmies.
Honore de Balzac
