More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Genuine sorrows are very tranquil in appearance in the deep bed they have dug for themselves. But, seeming to slumber, they corrode the soul like that frightful acid which penetrates crystal.
Honore de Balzac
A penniless man who has no ties to bind him is master of himself at any rate, but a luckless wretch who is in love no longer belongs to himself, and may not take his own life. Love makes us almost sacred in our own eyes it is the life of another that we revere within us then and so begins for us the cruelest trouble of all.
Honore de Balzac
Finance, like time, devours its own children.
Honore de Balzac
Emulation is not rivalry. Emulation is the child of ambition rivalry is the unlovable daughter of envy.
Honore de Balzac
A man's own vanity is a swindler that never lacks for a dupe.
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
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
When you doubt your power, you give power to your doubt.
Honore de Balzac
How natural it is to destroy what we cannot possess, to deny what we do not understand, and to insult what we envy!
Honore de Balzac
Nature endows woman alternately with a particular strength which helps her to suffer and a weakness which counsels her to be resigned.
Honore de Balzac
No woman dares to refuse love without a motive, for nothing is more natural than to yield to love.
Honore de Balzac
Everybody all over the world takes a wife's estimate into account in forming an opinion of a man.
Honore de Balzac
A husband and wife who are in the habit of occupying separate rooms are either beings apart, or they have found happiness. Either they hate or they adore each other.
Honore de Balzac
With monuments as with men, position means everything.
Honore de Balzac
True love is eternal, infinite, and always like itself. It is equal and pure, without violent demonstrations: it is seen with white hairs and is always young in the heart.
Honore de Balzac
How did you get back?' asked Vautrin. 'I walked,' replied Eugene. 'I wouldn't like half-pleasures, myself,' observed the tempter. 'I'd want to go there in my own carriage, have my own box, and come back in comfort. All or nothing, that's my motto.' 'And a very good one,' said Madame Vauquer.
Honore de Balzac
He who best knows the world will love it least.
Honore de Balzac
In the medical profession a horse and carriage are more necessary than any scientific knowledge.
Honore de Balzac
Our energies are often stimulated by the necessity of supporting a being weaker than ourselves.
Honore de Balzac
When a woman starts talking about her duty, her regard for appearances, and her respect for religion, she raises so many bulwarks which she delights to see captured by storm.
Honore de Balzac
