More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Our worst misfortunes never happen, and most miseries lie in anticipation.
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
People who climb from one rung of society to another can never do anything simply.
Honore de Balzac
We do not attach ourselves lastingly to anything that has not cost us care, labor or longing.
Honore de Balzac
Ah! the soft starlight of virgin eyes.
Honore de Balzac
Envy lurks at the bottom of the human heart like a viper in its hole.
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
He has great tranquility of heart who cares neither for the praises nor the fault-finding of men.
Honore de Balzac
Creole women take after Europe in their intelligence, after the Tropics in the illogical violence of their passions, and after the Indies in the apathetic indolence with which they commit or suffer good and evil.
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
Hatred like love feeds on the merest trifles.
Honore de Balzac
Love or hatred must constantly increase between two persons who are always together every moment fresh reasons are found for loving or hating better.
Honore de Balzac
Like most young people, these two attributed to the world their own intelligence and virtues. Youth who knows no failure has no mercy on the faults of other people but it has also a sublime faith in them.
Honore de Balzac
A lui la foi, a' elle le doute, a' elle le fardeau le plus lourd: la femme ne souffre-t-elle pas toujours pour deux? For him, faith for her, doubt and for her theheavier load: does not the woman always suffer for both?
Honore de Balzac
Passion is born deaf and dumb.
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
Coffee falls into the stomach... ideas begin to move, things remembered arrive at full gallop... the shafts of wit start up like sharp-shooters, similes arise, the paper is covered with ink...
Honore de Balzac
At fifteen, beauty and talent do not exist there can only be promise of the coming woman.
Honore de Balzac
To speak of love is to make love.
Honore de Balzac
Ah! What pleasure it must be to a woman to suffer for the one she loves!
Honore de Balzac
