More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Happiness lends poetic charms to woman, and dress adorns her like a delicate tinge of rouge.
Honore de Balzac
But does not happiness come from the soul within?
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
For young people always begin by loving exaggeration, that infirmity of noble minds.
Honore de Balzac
I prefer thought to action, an idea to a transaction, contemplation to activity.
Honore de Balzac
What is motherhood save Nature in her most gladsome mood?
Honore de Balzac
The love of nature is the only love that does not deceive human hopes.
Honore de Balzac
Most women wish to feel that their spirit has been violated. Do they not, indeed, flatter themselves on never yielding save to force?
Honore de Balzac
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
Hatred like love feeds on the merest trifles. Everything adds to it. Just as the being we love can do no wrong, so the one we hate can do no right.
Honore de Balzac
To those who have exhausted politics, nothing remains but abstract thought.
Honore de Balzac
Isn't it really quite extraordinary to see that, since man took his first step, no one has asked himself why he walks, how he walks, if he has ever walked, if he could walk better, what he achieves in walking .. questions that are tied to all the philosophical, psychological, and political systems which preoccupy the world.
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
Women are happy to possess a man whom all women covet.
Honore de Balzac
How fondly swindlers coddle their dupes! No mother is as caressing or thoughtful towards her adored child as a merchant in hypocrisy toward his milch-cow.
Honore de Balzac
For the person who loves God, worship is the daily bread of patience.
Honore de Balzac
To have one's mother-in-law in the country when one lives in Paris, and vice versa, is one of those strokes of luck that one encounters only too rarely.
Honore de Balzac
Women see everything or nothing according to the inclination of their hearts. Love is their sole light.
Honore de Balzac
Clouds signify the veil of the Most High.
Honore de Balzac
When you doubt your power, you give power to your doubt.
Honore de Balzac
