More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Love may be or it may not, but where it is, it ought to reveal itself in its immensity.
Honore de Balzac
The passion of love is essentially selfish, while motherhood widens the circle of our feelings.
Honore de Balzac
Women, when they have made a sheep of a man, always tell him that he is a lion with a will of iron.
Honore de Balzac
Pity is woman's sweetest charm.
Honore de Balzac
What makes friendship indissolute and what doubles its charms is a feeling we find lacking in love: I mean certitude.
Honore de Balzac
No woman dares to refuse love without a motive, for nothing is more natural than to yield to love.
Honore de Balzac
Tradesmen regard an author with a mixed feeling of terror, compassion and curiosity.
Honore de Balzac
The more you judge, the less you love.
Honore de Balzac
Kindness is not without its rocks ahead. People are apt to put it down to an easy temper and seldom recognize it as the secret striving of a generous nature whilst, on the other hand, the ill-natured get credit for all the evil they refrain from.
Honore de Balzac
Courtesy is only a thin veneer on the general selfishness.
Honore de Balzac
No man should marry until he has studied anatomy and dissected at least one woman.
Honore de Balzac
Clothes are like a gloss that sets off everything dresser were invented more to enhance physical advantages than to veil physical defects.
Honore de Balzac
The virtues we acquire, which develop slowly within us, are the invisible links that bind each one of our existences to the others - existences which the spirit alone remembers, for Matter has no memory for spiritual things.
Honore de Balzac
Generally our confidences move downward rather than upward in our secret affairs, we employ our inferiors much more than our bettors.
Honore de Balzac
The causes that govern the heart appear to be wholly alien to the results achieved. Are the forces that moved a desperate criminal the same that fill a martyr with pride, as both mount the scaffold?
Honore de Balzac
Manners are the hypocrisy of a nation.
Honore de Balzac
Kindness steers no easy course. Attributing it to character, we seldom recognize the secret efforts of a noble heart, whereas we reward really wicked people for the evil they refrain from committing.
Honore de Balzac
First love is a kind of vaccination which saves a man from catching the complaint the second time.
Honore de Balzac
A woman, even a prude, is not long at a loss, however dire her plight. She would seen always to have in hand the fig leaf our Mother Eve bequeathed to her.
Honore de Balzac
Some day you will find out that there is far more happiness in another's happiness than in your own.
Honore de Balzac
