More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Mud, raised by hurricanes, wells up in the noblest and purest of hearts.
Honore de Balzac
Coffee falls into the stomach... ideas begin to move, things remembered arrive at full gallop... the shafts of wit start up like sharp-shooters, similes arise, the paper is covered with ink...
Honore de Balzac
Noble hearts are neither jealous nor afraid because jealousy spells doubt and fear spells pettiness.
Honore de Balzac
Behind every fortune there is a crime.
Honore de Balzac
Marriage must fight constantly against a monster which devours everything: routine.
Honore de Balzac
People who climb from one rung of society to another can never do anything simply.

Honore de Balzac
Chance, my dear, is the sovereign deity in child-bearing.
Honore de Balzac
The national budget is not a safe-deposit box. It is a spray can.
Honore de Balzac
Life is simply what out feelings do to us.
Honore de Balzac
I declare, on my soul and conscience, that the attainment of power, or of a great name in literature, seemed to me an easier victory than a success with some young, witty, and gracious lady of high degree.
Honore de Balzac
If the human heart sometimes finds moments of pause as it ascends the slopes of affection, it rarely halts on the way down.
Honore de Balzac
The habits of life form the soul, and the soul forms the physical presence.
Honore de Balzac
Envy lurks at the bottom of the human heart like a viper in its hole.
Honore de Balzac
Happiness lends poetic charms to woman, and dress adorns her like a delicate tinge of rouge.
Honore de Balzac
A knowledge of mankind and of things that surround us gives us that second education which proves far move valuable than our first because it alone turns out a truly accomplished man.
Honore de Balzac
A monster which devours everything - that is familiarity.
Honore de Balzac
If you are to judge a man, you must know his secret thoughts, sorrows, and feelings to know merely the outward events of a man's life would only serve to make a chronological table-a fool's notion of history.
