More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Woman is closer to angels than man because she knows how to mingle an infinite tenderness with the most absolute compassion.

Honore de Balzac
A jealous husband doesnt doubt his wife, but himself.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.
Honore de Balzac
Our energies are often stimulated by the necessity of supporting a being weaker than ourselves.
Honore de Balzac
Men are such dupes by choice, that he who would impose upon others never need be at a loss to find ready victims.
Honore de Balzac
It's not enough to be a good person. You also have to show it.
Honore de Balzac
There are moments in life when all we can bear is the sense that our friend is near us our wounds would wince at the touch of consoling words, that would reveal the depths of our pain.
Honore de Balzac
Hope is a memory that desires, the memory is a memory that has enjoyed.
Honore de Balzac
Death unites as well as separates it silences all paltry feeling.
Honore de Balzac
