Image
A naked woman is less dangerous than one who spreads her skirt skillfully to cover and exhibit everything at once.
Honore de Balzac
Image
Virtue is not a thing you can have by halves it is or it is not.
Honore de Balzac
Image
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
Image
Beauty is the greatest of human powers. Any power without counterbalance or control becomes autocratic and leads to abuse and to folly. Despotism in a government is insanity in woman, fantasy.

Le coeur d'une me' re est un ab|me au fond duquel se trouve toujours un pardon. A mother'sheart isanabyss atthebottomof whichthere is always forgiveness.
Honore de Balzac
Image
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
Image
If you are to judge a man, you must know his secret thoughts, sorrows, and feelings to know merely the outward events of a man's life would only serve to make a chronological table-a fool's notion of history.
Honore de Balzac
Image
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
Image
La femme marie e est un esclave qu'il faut savoir mettre sur un tro n e. A married woman is a slave whom one must put on a throne.
Honore de Balzac

Emulation is not rivalry. Emulation is the child of ambition rivalry is the unlovable daughter of envy.
Honore de Balzac
Image
Chance, my dear, is the sovereign deity in child-bearing.
Honore de Balzac
Image
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
Image
A young bride is like a plucked flower but a guilty wife is like a flower that had been walked over.
Honore de Balzac
Image
Necessity is the spur of genius.
Honore de Balzac
Image
One admirable trait in women is their lack of illusions about themselves. They never reason about their most blameworthy actions their feelings carry them away. Even their dissimulation comes naturally to them, and in them crime is free of all baseness. Most of the time they simply do not know how it happened.

The day will dawn when Europe will believe only in the man who tramples her underfoot.
Honore de Balzac
Image
No man has ever yet discovered the way to give friendly advice to any woman, not even to his own wife.
Honore de Balzac
Image
The weakest being on earth can accomplish feats of strength. The frailest urchin will ring every doorbell on the street in arctic weather or hoist himself aloft to inscribe his name on a virgin monument.

Virtually all men of action incline to Fatality just as most thinkers incline to Providence.
