More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Happiness lends poetic charms to woman, and dress adorns her like a delicate tinge of rouge.
Honore de Balzac
The weakest being on earth can accomplish feats of strength. The frailest urchin will ring every doorbell on the street in arctic weather or hoist himself aloft to inscribe his name on a virgin monument.
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
Emulation is not rivalry. Emulation is the child of ambition rivalry is the unlovable daughter of envy.
Honore de Balzac
Novelty is both delightful and deceptive.
Honore de Balzac
There are moments in life when all we can bear is the sense that our friend is near us our wounds would wince at the touch of consoling words, that would reveal the depths of our pain.
Honore de Balzac
People who climb from one rung of society to another can never do anything simply.
Honore de Balzac
Love is the poetry of the senses.
Honore de Balzac
Generally our confidences move downward rather than upward in our secret affairs, we employ our inferiors much more than our bettors.
Honore de Balzac
One of the most detestable habits of Lilliputian minds is to find their own littleness in others.
Honore de Balzac
A man who stops at nothing short of the law is very clever indeed!
Honore de Balzac
Nothing is so discreet as a young face, for nothing is less mobile it has the serenity, the surface smoothness, and the freshnessof a lake. There is no character in women's faces before the age of thirty.
Honore de Balzac
All human beings go through a previous life... Who knows how many fleshly forms the heir of heaven occupies before he can be brought to understand the value of that silence and solitude of spiritual worlds?
Honore de Balzac
Nothing is as heady as the wine of misfortune.
Honore de Balzac
Numbers are intellectual witnesses that belong only to mankind.
Honore de Balzac
They [twin beds] are the most stupid, the most perfidious, and the most dangerous invention in the world. Shame and a curse on who thought of them.
Honore de Balzac
For pain is perhaps but a violent pleasure? Who could determine the point where pleasure becomes pain, where pain is still a pleasure? Is not the utmost brightness of the ideal world soothing to us, while the lightest shadows of the physical world annoy?
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
Memories beautify life, but the capacity to forget makes it bearable.
Honore de Balzac
Where poverty ceases, avarice begins.
Honore de Balzac
