More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Vivacity is the health of the spirit.
Honore de Balzac
Some troubles, like a protested note of a solvent debtor, bear interest.
Honore de Balzac
Reproach is usually honest, which is more than can be said of praise.
Honore de Balzac
A young bride is like a plucked flower but a guilty wife is like a flower that had been walked over.
Honore de Balzac
Love is not only a feeling, it is also an art. A simple word, a sensitive precaution, a mere nothing reveal to a woman the sublime artist who can touch her heart without withering it.
Honore de Balzac
The secret of great fortunes without apparent cause is a crime forgotten, forgotten because it was properly done.
Honore de Balzac
You cannot pluck love out of your heart as you would pull a tooth.
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
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
True love rules especially through memory.
Honore de Balzac
The passion of love is essentially selfish, while motherhood widens the circle of our feelings.
Honore de Balzac
A woman's greatest charm consists in a constant appeal to a man's generosity by a gracious declaration of helplessness which fills him with pride and awakens the most magnificent feelings in his heart.
Honore de Balzac
Small natures require despotism to exercise their sinews, as great souls thirst for equality to give play to their heart.
Honore de Balzac
Genius is answerable only to itself it is the sole judge of the means, since it alone knows the end thus genius must consider itself as above the law, for it is the task of genius to remake the law moreover the man who frees himself from his time and place may take everything, hazard everything, for everything is his by right.
Honore de Balzac
True lovers know how trifling a thing is money yet how difficult to blend with love!
Honore de Balzac
For businessmen, the world is a bale of banknotes in circulation for most young men, it is a woman for some women, it is a man and for others it may be a salon, a coterie, a part of town or a whole city.
Honore de Balzac
Time is the only capital of those who just have their inteligence as fortune.
Honore de Balzac
Science is the language of the temporal world love is that of the spiritual world. Man, indeed, describes more than he explains while the angelic spirit sees and understands. Science saddens man love enraptures the angel science is still seeking love has found.
Honore de Balzac
Our worst misfortunes never happen, and most miseries lie in anticipation.
Honore de Balzac
It is a singular fact that most men of action incline to the theory of fatalism, while the greater part of men of thought believe in providence.
Honore de Balzac
