More quotes by Honore de Balzac
To say to a rich man: You are poor! is to tell the Archbishop of Granada that his sermons are worthless.
Honore de Balzac
The world will avenge itself upon all happiness in which it has no share.
Honore de Balzac
Among even the happiest married couples there are always moments of regret.
Honore de Balzac
A woman questions the man who loves exactly as a judge questions a criminal. This being so, a flash of the eye, a mere word, an inflection of the voice or a moment's hesitation suffice to expose the fact, betrayal or crime he is attempting to conceal.
Honore de Balzac
When passion is not fed, it changes to need. At this juncture, marriage becomes a fixed idea in the mind of the bourgeois, being the only means whereby he can win a woman and appropriate her to his uses.
Honore de Balzac
I prefer thought to action, an idea to a transaction, contemplation to activity.
Honore de Balzac
Where poverty ceases, avarice begins.
Honore de Balzac
There are words which cut like steel.
Honore de Balzac
When women love, they forgive everything...

Honore de Balzac
Finance, like time, devours its own children.
Honore de Balzac
No man has ever yet discovered the way to give friendly advice to any woman, not even to his own wife.

There are no little events with the heart. It magnifies everything it places in the same scales the fall of an empire of fourteen years and the dropping of a woman's glove, and almost always the glove weighs more than the empire.
Honore de Balzac
At fifteen, neither beauty nor talent exist: a woman is all promise.
Honore de Balzac
Life in clubs is no paltry sign of the times we live in. Here gentlemen gamble with others whom they would not dream of inviting to their homes.
Honore de Balzac
To feel, to love, to suffer, to devote herself, will always be the text of the life of woman.
Honore de Balzac
Doubt follows white-winged hope with trembling steps.
Honore de Balzac
Ah! how much a mother learns from her child! The constant protection of a helpless being forces us to so strict an alliance with virtue, that a woman never shows to full advantage except as a mother. Then alone can her character expand in the fulfillment of all life's duties and the enjoyment of all its pleasures.
Honore de Balzac
Can you find a man who loves the occupation that provides him with a livelihood? Professions are like marriages we end by feeling only their inconveniences.
Honore de Balzac
No husband will ever be better avenged than by his wife's lover.
Honore de Balzac
