More quotes by 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
Men are such dupes by choice, that he who would impose upon others never need be at a loss to find ready victims.
Honore de Balzac
The weakest being on earth can accomplish feats of strength. The frailest urchin will ring every doorbell on the street in arctic weather or hoist himself aloft to inscribe his name on a virgin monument.
Honore de Balzac
Manners are the hypocrisy of a nation.
Honore de Balzac
Woman is a most charming creature, who changes her heart as easily as she does her gloves.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
I prefer thought to action, an idea to a transaction, contemplation to activity.
Honore de Balzac
Envy lurks at the bottom of the human heart like a viper in its hole.
Honore de Balzac
Resignation is a daily suicide.
Honore de Balzac
Mud, raised by hurricanes, wells up in the noblest and purest of hearts.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
Necessity is the spur of genius.
Honore de Balzac
Yes, I can understand that a man might go to a gambling table when he sees that all that lies between him and death is his last crown.
Honore de Balzac
Carelessness in dressing is moral suicide.
Honore de Balzac
Love is like some fresh spring, first a stream and then a river, changing its aspect and its nature as it flows to plunge itself in some boundless ocean, where restricted natures only find monotony, but where great souls are engulfed in endless contemplation.
Honore de Balzac
Possibly the words materialism and spirituality express two sides of one and the same fact.
Honore de Balzac
In France we can cauterize wounds but we do not yet know any remedy for the injuries inflicted by a bon mot.
Honore de Balzac
There is nothing original all is reflected light.
Honore de Balzac
