More quotes by Honore de Balzac
People who climb from one rung of society to another can never do anything simply.
Honore de Balzac
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.
Honore de Balzac
At fifteen, beauty and talent do not exist there can only be promise of the coming woman.
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
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
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
Love passes quickly, and passes like a street Arab, anxious to mark his way with mischief.
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
The day will dawn when Europe will believe only in the man who tramples her underfoot.
Honore de Balzac
No husband will ever be better avenged than by his wife's lover.
Honore de Balzac
Nothing about me surprises me.
Honore de Balzac
Some troubles, like a protested note of a solvent debtor, bear interest.
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
The greatest tyranny is to love I where we are not loved again.
Honore de Balzac
When you doubt your power, you give power to your doubt.
Honore de Balzac
Happiness lends poetic charms to woman, and dress adorns her like a delicate tinge of rouge.
Honore de Balzac
Love is the poetry of the senses.
Honore de Balzac
In the medical profession a horse and carriage are more necessary than any scientific knowledge.
Honore de Balzac
There are words which cut like steel.
Honore de Balzac
At fifteen, neither beauty nor talent exist: a woman is all promise.
Honore de Balzac
