More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Courtesy is only a thin veneer on the general selfishness.
Honore de Balzac
How sternly we reproach virtue for its failings, how indulgent we are to the better qualities of vice!
Honore de Balzac
The pleasures of love proceed successively from a distich to a quatrain, from a quatrain to a sonnet, from a sonnet to a ballad, from a ballad to an ode, from an ode to a cantata, and from a cantata to a dithyramb. A husband who begins with the dithyramb is a fool.
Honore de Balzac
Nothing is as heady as the wine of misfortune.
Honore de Balzac
Among even the happiest married couples there are always moments of regret.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
For young people always begin by loving exaggeration, that infirmity of noble minds.
Honore de Balzac
It is quite right what they say: the three most beautiful sights in the world are a ship in full sail, a galloping horse, and a woman dancing.
Honore de Balzac
Love is a game in which one always cheats.
Honore de Balzac
My further advice on your relations to women is based upon that other motto of chivalry, Serve all, love one.
Honore de Balzac
A man may and ought to pride himself more on his will than on his talent.
Honore de Balzac
Only when one has learned to acknowledge that wiser minds have made better words to come out of our mouths may we truly, then, begin to speak them.
Honore de Balzac
Time is the only capital of those who just have their inteligence as fortune.
Honore de Balzac
The love of nature is the only love that does not deceive human hopes.
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 smallest flower is a thought, a life answering to some feature of the Great Whole, of whom they have a persistent intuition.
Honore de Balzac
First love is a kind of vaccination which saves a man from catching the complaint the second time.
Honore de Balzac
Pity is woman's sweetest charm.
Honore de Balzac
Few men are raised in our estimation by being too closely examined.
Honore de Balzac
Whoever does not visit Paris regularly will never really be elegant.
Honore de Balzac
