More quotes by Honore de Balzac
A mother's happiness is like a beacon, lighting up the future but reflected also on the past in the guise of fond memories.
Honore de Balzac
Pity is woman's sweetest charm.
Honore de Balzac
Self-love is as protective as the Deity Disenchantment is as perspicacious as a surgeon Experience is as provident as a mother. Such are the theologic virtues of marriage.
Honore de Balzac
Gentleness in the gait is what simplicity is in the dress. Violent gestures or quick movements inspire involuntary disrespect.
Honore de Balzac
During the great storms of our lives we imitate those captains who jettison their weightiest cargo.
Honore de Balzac
Vice is perhaps a desire to learn everything.
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
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
In a husband, there is only a man in a married woman, there is a man, a father, a mother and a woman.
Honore de Balzac
Events are never absolute, their outcome depends entirely upon the individual.
Honore de Balzac
To promote laughter without joining in it greatly heightens the effect.
Honore de Balzac
Modern society includes three types of men who can never think very highly of the world--the priest, the physician, and the attorney-at-law. They all wear black, too, for are they not in mourning for every virtue and every illusion?
Honore de Balzac
He has great tranquility of heart who cares neither for the praises nor the fault-finding of men.
Honore de Balzac
Nowhere but in France are people so strictly observant of great matters and so disdainfully indulgent about small ones.
Honore de Balzac
Life cannot go on without much forgetting.
Honore de Balzac
Like hunger, physical love is a necessity. But man's appetite for amour is never so regular or so sustained as his appetite for the delights of the table.
Honore de Balzac
A man's own vanity is a swindler that never lacks for a dupe.
Honore de Balzac
No woman has ever existed who did not know perfectly well in her heart what to expect from the superiority or inferiority of a rival.
Honore de Balzac
It is very difficult to pass from pleasure to work. Accordingly more poems have been swallowed up by sorrow than ever happiness caused to blaze forth in unparalleled radiance.
Honore de Balzac
The endless legacy of the past to the present is the secret source of human genius.
Honore de Balzac
