More quotes by Honore de Balzac
The good we do to others is spoilt unless we efface ourselves so completely that those we help have no sense of inferiority.
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
The world will avenge itself upon all happiness in which it has no share.
Honore de Balzac
All genuinely noble women prefer truth to falsehood. As the Russians with their Czar, they are unwilling to see their idol degraded they want to be proud of the domination they accept.
Honore de Balzac
It is as easy to dream a book as it is hard to write one.
Honore de Balzac
It's catastrophies which turn wise and strong people into philosophers.
Honore de Balzac
The privilege of feeling at home everywhere belongs only to kings, wolves and robbers.
Honore de Balzac
Women, perhaps even require a little hypocrisy.
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
The man who enters his wife's dressing room is either a philosopher or a fool.
Honore de Balzac
The pleasures of love proceed successively from a distich to a quatrain, from a quatrain to a sonnet, from a sonnet to a ballad, from a ballad to an ode, from an ode to a cantata, and from a cantata to a dithyramb. A husband who begins with the dithyramb is a fool.
Honore de Balzac
A man who stops at nothing short of the law is very clever indeed!
Honore de Balzac
To kill a relative of whom you are tired is something. But to inherit his property afterwards, that is genuine pleasure.
Honore de Balzac
Numbers are intellectual witnesses that belong only to mankind.
Honore de Balzac
Resignation is a daily suicide.
Honore de Balzac
The election of a deputy to the Legislature offers a noble and majestic spectacle comparable only to the delivery of a child. It involves the same efforts, the same impurities, the same laceration, and the same triumph.
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
Men who pay their tailors never amount to anything, they never even become Cabinet ministers.
Honore de Balzac
Men die in despair, while spirits die in ecstasy.
Honore de Balzac
Whoever does not visit Paris regularly will never really be elegant.
Honore de Balzac
