More quotes by Honore de Balzac

Image
When chaste people need body or mind to resort to action or thought, they find steel in their muscles or knowledge in their intelligence. Theirs the diabolic vigor or the black magic of will power.
Honore de Balzac
Image
He has great tranquility of heart who cares neither for the praises nor the fault-finding of men.
Honore de Balzac
Image
Like hunger, physical love is a necessity. But man's appetite for amour is never so regular or so sustained as his appetite for the delights of the table.
Honore de Balzac
Image
It's not enough to be a good person. You also have to show it.
Honore de Balzac

Image
Glory is a poison, good to be taken in small doses.
Honore de Balzac
Image
Fools gain greater advantages through their weakness than intelligent men through their strength. We watch a great man struggling against fate and we do not lift a finger to help him. But we patronize a grocer who is headed for bankruptcy.
Honore de Balzac
Image
Love is like some fresh spring, first a stream and then a river, changing its aspect and its nature as it flows to plunge itself in some boundless ocean, where restricted natures only find monotony, but where great souls are engulfed in endless contemplation.
Honore de Balzac
Image
Give to a wounded heart seclusion consolation nor reason ever effected anything in such a case.
Honore de Balzac
Image
Glory and fame mean twelve thousand francs' worth of paid articles in the newspapers and five thousand crowns' worth of dinners.
Honore de Balzac
Image
A young bride is like a plucked flower but a guilty wife is like a flower that had been walked over.
Honore de Balzac
Image
Necessity is often the spur to genius.
Honore de Balzac
Image
Ah! the soft starlight of virgin eyes.
Honore de Balzac
Image
Carelessness in dressing is moral suicide.
Honore de Balzac
Image
A man may and ought to pride himself more on his will than on his talent.
Honore de Balzac
Image
The smallest flower is a thought, a life answering to some feature of the Great Whole, of whom they have a persistent intuition.
Honore de Balzac
Image
Generally our confidences move downward rather than upward in our secret affairs, we employ our inferiors much more than our bettors.
