More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Fools gain greater advantages through their weakness than intelligent men through their strength. We watch a great man struggling against fate and we do not lift a finger to help him. But we patronize a grocer who is headed for bankruptcy.
Honore de Balzac
Necessity is often the spur to genius.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
A penniless man who has no ties to bind him is master of himself at any rate, but a luckless wretch who is in love no longer belongs to himself, and may not take his own life. Love makes us almost sacred in our own eyes it is the life of another that we revere within us then and so begins for us the cruelest trouble of all.
Honore de Balzac
Women see everything or nothing according to the inclination of their hearts. Love is their sole light.
Honore de Balzac
Love, according to our contemporary poets, is a privilege which two beings confer upon one another, whereby they may mutually cause one another much sorrow over absolutely nothing.
Honore de Balzac
Today nobility is gone: there is only a peerage.
Honore de Balzac
The victory always has a lot of parents but the defeat is always an orphan.
