More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Love is precisely to the moral nature what the sun is to the earth.
Honore de Balzac
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
A married woman is a slave you must know how to seat upon a throne.
Honore de Balzac
Political liberty, the peace of a nation, and science itself are gifts for which Fate demands a heavy tax in blood!
Honore de Balzac
Love is a game in which one always cheats.
Honore de Balzac
Clothes are like a gloss that sets off everything dresser were invented more to enhance physical advantages than to veil physical defects.
Honore de Balzac
There is nothing original all is reflected light.
Honore de Balzac
If you are to judge a man, you must know his secret thoughts, sorrows, and feelings to know merely the outward events of a man's life would only serve to make a chronological table-a fool's notion of history.
Honore de Balzac
Genuine sorrows are very tranquil in appearance in the deep bed they have dug for themselves. But, seeming to slumber, they corrode the soul like that frightful acid which penetrates crystal.
Honore de Balzac
Happiness lends poetic charms to woman, and dress adorns her like a delicate tinge of rouge.
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
We flew back home like swallows. 'Is it happiness that makes us so light?' Agathe asked.
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
Only when one has learned to acknowledge that wiser minds have made better words to come out of our mouths may we truly, then, begin to speak them.
Honore de Balzac
Clouds signify the veil of the Most High.
Honore de Balzac
Carelessness in dressing is moral suicide.
Honore de Balzac
Paris, like every pretty woman, is subject to inexplicable whims of beauty and ugliness.
Honore de Balzac
The winter's frost must rend the burr of the nut before the fruit is seen. So adversity tempers the human heart, to discover its real worth.
Honore de Balzac
Chance, my dear, is the sovereign deity in child-bearing.
Honore de Balzac
Today nobility is gone: there is only a peerage.
Honore de Balzac
