More quotes by Honore de Balzac
It's not enough to be a good person. You also have to show it.
Honore de Balzac
Incurable wounds are those inflicted by tongue and eye, by mockery and disdain.
Honore de Balzac
What is motherhood save Nature in her most gladsome mood?
Honore de Balzac
Men who pay their tailors never amount to anything, they never even become Cabinet ministers.
Honore de Balzac
Men are perfectly willing to abandon a woman but they refuse to be abandoned by her.
Honore de Balzac
When chaste people need body or mind to resort to action or thought, they find steel in their muscles or knowledge in their intelligence. Theirs the diabolic vigor or the black magic of will power.
Honore de Balzac
Conventions are often more cruel than the law.
Honore de Balzac
Nothing about me surprises me.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
Art's greatest efforts are invariably a timid counterfeit of Nature.
Honore de Balzac
One should believe in marriage as in the immortality of the soul.
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
At fifteen, beauty and talent do not exist there can only be promise of the coming woman.
Honore de Balzac
Suffering predisposes the mind to devoutness and most young girls, prompted by instinctive tenderness, lean towards mysticism, the obscurer side of religion.
Honore de Balzac
In Paris every man must have had a love affair. What woman wants something that no other woman ever wanted.
Honore de Balzac
To live in the presence of great truths and eternal laws, to be led by permanent ideals - that is what keeps a man patient when the world ignores him, and calm and unspoiled when the world praises him.
Honore de Balzac
When tempted to be unfaithful, the intellectual woman will try to inspire her husband with indifference, the sentimental woman with hatred, and the passionate woman with disgust.
Honore de Balzac
True love is eternal, infinite, and always like itself. It is equal and pure, without violent demonstrations: it is seen with white hairs and is always young in the heart.
Honore de Balzac
True lovers know how trifling a thing is money yet how difficult to blend with love!
Honore de Balzac
Chance, my dear, is the sovereign deity in child-bearing.
Honore de Balzac
