More quotes by Honore de Balzac
He's got his dog trained so that it only does it on newspapers. The trouble is it does it when he's reading the blasted things.
Honore de Balzac
A Creole woman is like a child, she wants to possess everything immediately like a child, she would set fire to a house in order to fry an egg. In her languor, she thinks of nothing when passionately aroused, she thinks of any act possible or impossible.
Honore de Balzac
Only when one has learned to acknowledge that wiser minds have made better words to come out of our mouths may we truly, then, begin to speak them.
Honore de Balzac
Doubt follows white-winged hope with trembling steps.
Honore de Balzac
The endless legacy of the past to the present is the secret source of human genius.
Honore de Balzac
In France we can cauterize wounds but we do not yet know any remedy for the injuries inflicted by a bon mot.
Honore de Balzac
Ah! What pleasure it must be to a woman to suffer for the one she loves!
Honore de Balzac
Hatred like love feeds on the merest trifles. Everything adds to it. Just as the being we love can do no wrong, so the one we hate can do no right.
Honore de Balzac
One admirable trait in women is their lack of illusions about themselves. They never reason about their most blameworthy actions their feelings carry them away. Even their dissimulation comes naturally to them, and in them crime is free of all baseness. Most of the time they simply do not know how it happened.
Honore de Balzac
My further advice on your relations to women is based upon that other motto of chivalry, Serve all, love one.
Honore de Balzac
Memories beautify life, but the capacity to forget makes it bearable.
Honore de Balzac
The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.
Honore de Balzac
Women, perhaps even require a little hypocrisy.
Honore de Balzac
Behind every fortune there is a crime.
Honore de Balzac
A sacrament by virtue of which each imparts nothing but vexations to the other.
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
People who climb from one rung of society to another can never do anything simply.
Honore de Balzac
Le coeur d'une me' re est un ab|me au fond duquel se trouve toujours un pardon. A mother'sheart isanabyss atthebottomof whichthere is always forgiveness.
Honore de Balzac
Bankers are lynxes. To expect any gratitude from them is equivalent to attempting to move the wolves of the Ukraine to pity in the middle of winter.
Honore de Balzac
Suffering predisposes the mind to devoutness and most young girls, prompted by instinctive tenderness, lean towards mysticism, the obscurer side of religion.
Honore de Balzac
