Emulation is not rivalry. Emulation is the child of ambition rivalry is the unlovable daughter of envy.
Honore de Balzac
At fifteen, neither beauty nor talent exist: a woman is all promise.
Honore de Balzac
Passions are no more forgiving than human laws and they reason more justly. Are they not based on a conscience of their own, infallible as an instinct?
Honore de Balzac
Solitude is fine, but you need someone to tell you that solitude is fine.
Honore de Balzac
A courage which looks easy & yet is rare the courage of a teacher repeating day after day the same lessons - the least rewarded of all forms of courage.
Honore de Balzac
When chaste people need body or mind to resort to action or thought, they find steel in their muscles or knowledge in their intelligence. Theirs the diabolic vigor or the black magic of will power.
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
Gentleness in the gait is what simplicity is in the dress. Violent gestures or quick movements inspire involuntary disrespect.
Honore de Balzac
A deist is an atheist with an eye cocked for the off-chance of some advantage.
Honore de Balzac
Old maids, having never bent their temper or their lives to other lives and other tempers, as woman's destiny requires, have for the most part a mania for making everything about them bend to them.
Honore de Balzac
France is a country that loves to change their government if it is always the same.
Honore de Balzac
To man, faith to woman, doubt. She bears the heavier burden. Does not woman invariably suffer for two?
Honore de Balzac
The most virtuous women have within them something that is never chaste.
Honore de Balzac
