More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Nature endows woman alternately with a particular strength which helps her to suffer and a weakness which counsels her to be resigned.
Honore de Balzac
Equality may be a right, but no power on earth can convert it into fact.
Honore de Balzac
All human beings go through a previous life... Who knows how many fleshly forms the heir of heaven occupies before he can be brought to understand the value of that silence and solitude of spiritual worlds?
Honore de Balzac
With every one, the expectation of a misfortune constitutes a dreadful, punishment. Suffering then assumes the proportions of the unknown, which is the soul's infinite.
Honore de Balzac
Noble hearts are neither jealous nor afraid because jealousy spells doubt and fear spells pettiness.
Honore de Balzac
It is as absurd to say that a man can't love one woman all the time as it is to say that a violinist needs several violins to play the same piece of music.
Honore de Balzac
The secret of great fortunes without apparent cause is a crime forgotten, forgotten because it was properly done.
Honore de Balzac
Necessity is often the spur to genius.
Honore de Balzac
Behind every fortune there is a crime.
Honore de Balzac
Ah! What pleasure it must be to a woman to suffer for the one she loves!
Honore de Balzac
He hesitated till the last moment, but finally dropped them in the box, saying, I shall win!--the cry of a gambler, the cry of the great general, the compulsive cry that has ruined more men than it has ever saved.
Honore de Balzac
Novelty is both delightful and deceptive.
Honore de Balzac
Loyalty in time of need is possibly one of the noblest of victories a courtier can win over himself.
Honore de Balzac
Glory is a poison, good to be taken in small doses.
Honore de Balzac
Towns find it as hard as houses of business to rise again from ruin.
Honore de Balzac
The passion of love is essentially selfish, while motherhood widens the circle of our feelings.
Honore de Balzac
Nothing is as heady as the wine of misfortune.
Honore de Balzac
How fondly swindlers coddle their dupes! No mother is as caressing or thoughtful towards her adored child as a merchant in hypocrisy toward his milch-cow.
Honore de Balzac
Possibly the words materialism and spirituality express two sides of one and the same fact.
Honore de Balzac
People exaggerate both happiness and unhappiness we are never so fortunate nor so unfortunate as people say we are.
Honore de Balzac
