Honore de Balzac
All happiness depends on courage and work.
Honore de Balzac
Life cannot go on without much forgetting.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.
Honore de Balzac
At fifteen, beauty and talent do not exist there can only be promise of the coming woman.
