More quotes by Honore de Balzac
The love of nature is the only love that does not deceive human hopes.
Honore de Balzac
As a rule, only the poor are generous.
Honore de Balzac
It is no sin to be tempted the wickedness lies in being overcome.
Honore de Balzac
Political liberty, the peace of a nation, and science itself are gifts for which Fate demands a heavy tax in blood!
Honore de Balzac
The day will dawn when Europe will believe only in the man who tramples her underfoot.
Honore de Balzac
How natural it is to destroy what we cannot possess, to deny what we do not understand, and to insult what we envy!
Honore de Balzac
L'amour n'est pas seulement un sentiment, il est un art aussi. Love is not only a feeling it is also an art.
Honore de Balzac
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
Virtue in women is perhaps a question of temperament.
Honore de Balzac
Glory and fame mean twelve thousand francs' worth of paid articles in the newspapers and five thousand crowns' worth of dinners.
Honore de Balzac
Mud, raised by hurricanes, wells up in the noblest and purest of hearts.
Honore de Balzac
Let passion reach a catastrophe and it submits us to an intoxicating force far more powerful than the niggardly irritation of wine or of opium. The lucidity our ideas then achieve, and the delicacy of our overly exalted sensations, produce the strangest and most unexpected effects.
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
The best painters, as they progress in reputation and towards perfection, are found to dispense more and more with the technique of the art, for simpler methods. Simplicity never fails to charm.
Honore de Balzac
Let us leave the cure of public evils to those quacks, the statesmen.
Honore de Balzac
When an intelligent man reaches the point of inviting self-explanation and offers surrendering the key to his heart, he is assuredly riding a drunken horse.
Honore de Balzac
Reading brings us unknown friends
Honore de Balzac
Necessity is often the spur to genius.
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
Some troubles, like a protested note of a solvent debtor, bear interest.
Honore de Balzac
