More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Where some one else's welfare is concerned, a young girl becomes as ingenious as a thief. Guileless where she herself is in question, and full of foresight for me,-she is like a heavenly angel forgiving the strange incomprehensible sins of earth.
Honore de Balzac
The most virtuous women have within them something that is never chaste.
Honore de Balzac
Among even the happiest married couples there are always moments of regret.
Honore de Balzac
The more you judge, the less you love.
Honore de Balzac
A deist is an atheist with an eye cocked for the off-chance of some advantage.
Honore de Balzac
Chance, my dear, is the sovereign deity in child-bearing.
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
Old maids, having never bent their temper or their lives to other lives and other tempers, as woman's destiny requires, have for the most part a mania for making everything about them bend to them.
Honore de Balzac
Kindness is not without its rocks ahead. People are apt to put it down to an easy temper and seldom recognize it as the secret striving of a generous nature whilst, on the other hand, the ill-natured get credit for all the evil they refrain from.
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
Where poverty ceases, avarice begins.
Honore de Balzac
A lover teaches a wife all her husband has kept from her.
Honore de Balzac
A wife is property that one acquires by contract, she is transferable, because possession of her requires title in fact, woman is, so to speak, only man's appendage consequently, slice, cut, clip her, you have all rights to her.
Honore de Balzac
There are no principles there are only events. There is no good and bad, there are only circumstances.
Honore de Balzac
The Police and the Society of Jesus posses in common the virtue of never forsaking their enemies as friends.
Honore de Balzac
I am not deep, but I am very wide.
Honore de Balzac
In the first woman we love, we love everything. Growing older, we love the woman only.
Honore de Balzac
It is the mark of a great man that he puts to flight all ordinary calculations. He is at once sublime and touching, childlike and of the race of giants.
Honore de Balzac
Woman is stronger by virtue of her feelings than man by virtue of his power.
Honore de Balzac
Nature knows nothing but solid bodies your science deals only with combinations of surfaces. And so nature constantly gives the lie to all your laws can you name one to which no fact makes an exception?
Honore de Balzac
