Honore de Balzac
Finance, like time, devours its own children.

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
Necessity is often the spur to genius.
Honore de Balzac
Political liberty, the peace of a nation, and science itself are gifts for which Fate demands a heavy tax in blood!
