Honore de Balzac
The secret of great fortunes without apparent cause is a crime forgotten, forgotten because it was properly done.
Honore de Balzac
There are moments in life when all we can bear is the sense that our friend is near us our wounds would wince at the touch of consoling words, that would reveal the depths of our pain.
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

Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
But does not happiness come from the soul within?
Honore de Balzac
Marriage must perforce fight against the all-devouring monster of habit.
Honore de Balzac
What moralist can deny that well-bred and vicious people are much more agreeable than their virtuous counterparts? Having crimes to atone for, they provisionally solicit indulgence by showing leniency toward the defects of their judges. Thus they pass for excellent folk.
Honore de Balzac
One should believe in marriage as in the immortality of the soul.
Honore de Balzac
My further advice on your relations to women is based upon that other motto of chivalry, Serve all, love one.
Honore de Balzac
Courtesy is only a thin veneer on the general selfishness.
Honore de Balzac
Forgetting is the great secret of strong and creative lives.
Honore de Balzac
The causes that govern the heart appear to be wholly alien to the results achieved. Are the forces that moved a desperate criminal the same that fill a martyr with pride, as both mount the scaffold?
Honore de Balzac
I am not deep, but I am very wide.
Honore de Balzac
In the first woman we love, we love everything. Growing older, we love the woman only.
Honore de Balzac
