Happiness
More quotes by Honore de Balzac
The prodigality of millionaires is comparable only to their greed of gain. Let some whim or passion seize them and money is of no account. In fact these Croesuses find whims and passions harder to come by than gold.
Honore de Balzac
Innocence alone dares commit certain acts of audacity. Virtue, when tutored, is as calculating as vice.
Honore de Balzac
Life cannot go on without much forgetting.
Honore de Balzac
Numbers are intellectual witnesses that belong only to mankind.
Honore de Balzac
Ah! What pleasure it must be to a woman to suffer for the one she loves!
Honore de Balzac
True lovers know how trifling a thing is money yet how difficult to blend with love!
Honore de Balzac
Some troubles, like a protested note of a solvent debtor, bear interest.
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
Manners are the hypocrisy of a nation.
Honore de Balzac
To promote laughter without joining in it greatly heightens the effect.
Honore de Balzac
Let us leave the cure of public evils to those quacks, the statesmen.
Honore de Balzac
A letter is a soul, so faithful an echo of the speaking voice that to the sensitive it is among the richest treasures of love.
Honore de Balzac
What moralist can deny that well-bred and vicious people are much more agreeable than their virtuous counterparts? Having crimes to atone for, they provisionally solicit indulgence by showing leniency toward the defects of their judges. Thus they pass for excellent folk.
Honore de Balzac
Loyalty in time of need is possibly one of the noblest of victories a courtier can win over himself.
Honore de Balzac
It would be curious to know what leads a man to become a stationer rather than a baker, when he is no longer compelled, as among the Egyptians, to succeed to his father's craft.
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
A girl's coquetry is of the simplest, she thinks that all is said when the veil is laid aside a woman's coquetry is endless, she shrouds herself in veil after veil, she satisfies every demand of man's vanity, the novice responds but to one.
Honore de Balzac
What a thing of fantasy a woman may become after dusk.
Honore de Balzac
Solitude is fine, but you need someone to tell you that solitude is fine.
Honore de Balzac
True love rules especially through memory.
Honore de Balzac
