Honore de Balzac
Resignation is a daily suicide.
Honore de Balzac

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
For a sick man the world begins at his pillow and ends at the foot of his bed.
Honore de Balzac
Love is a game in which one always cheats.
Honore de Balzac
Everybody all over the world takes a wife's estimate into account in forming an opinion of a man.
Honore de Balzac
The duration of a couple's passion is in proportion to the woman's original resistance or to the obstacles that social hazards have placed in the way of her happiness.
Honore de Balzac
Nothing is as heady as the wine of misfortune.
Honore de Balzac
