More quotes by Honore de Balzac
To live in the presence of great truths and eternal laws, to be led by permanent ideals - that is what keeps a man patient when the world ignores him, and calm and unspoiled when the world praises him.
Honore de Balzac
When women love, they forgive everything...
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

Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
One should believe in marriage as in the immortality of the soul.
Honore de Balzac
Our heart is a treasury if you pour out all its wealth at once, you are bankrupt.
Honore de Balzac
Marriage must perforce fight against the all-devouring monster of habit.
Honore de Balzac
Equality may be a right, but no power on earth can convert it into fact.
Honore de Balzac
Good befalls us while we sleep, sometimes.
Honore de Balzac
Poetry is only born after painful journeys into the vast regions of thought.
Honore de Balzac
Emulation is not rivalry. Emulation is the child of ambition rivalry is the unlovable daughter of envy.
Honore de Balzac
Science is the language of the temporal world love is that of the spiritual world. Man, indeed, describes more than he explains while the angelic spirit sees and understands. Science saddens man love enraptures the angel science is still seeking love has found.
Honore de Balzac
Today nobility is gone: there is only a peerage.
Honore de Balzac
I am not deep, but I am very wide.
Honore de Balzac
Life in clubs is no paltry sign of the times we live in. Here gentlemen gamble with others whom they would not dream of inviting to their homes.
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
