More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Our most bitter enemies are our own kith and kin. Kings have no brothers, no sons, no mother!
Honore de Balzac
But does not happiness come from the soul within?
Honore de Balzac
Kindness is not without its rocks ahead. People are apt to put it down to an easy temper and seldom recognize it as the secret striving of a generous nature whilst, on the other hand, the ill-natured get credit for all the evil they refrain from.
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
Hatred like love feeds on the merest trifles.
Honore de Balzac
Marriageable girls as well as mothers understand the terms and perils of the lottery called wedlock. That is why women weep at a wedding and men smile.
Honore de Balzac
How sternly we reproach virtue for its failings, how indulgent we are to the better qualities of vice!
Honore de Balzac
A jealous husband doesnt doubt his wife, but himself.
Honore de Balzac
A deist is an atheist with an eye cocked for the off-chance of some advantage.
Honore de Balzac
For young people always begin by loving exaggeration, that infirmity of noble minds.
Honore de Balzac
As a rule, only the poor are generous.
Honore de Balzac
Manners are the hypocrisy of a nation.
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
Above all do not ask that justice be just: It is just, because it is justice. The idea of a just justice could have originated only in the brain of an anarchist.
Honore de Balzac
The mind, too, has its regimen. It needs gymnastics, just like the body does.
Honore de Balzac
Life cannot go on without much forgetting.
Honore de Balzac
Vice is perhaps a desire to learn everything.
Honore de Balzac
Novelty is both delightful and deceptive.
Honore de Balzac
Where some one else's welfare is concerned, a young girl becomes as ingenious as a thief. Guileless where she herself is in question, and full of foresight for me,-she is like a heavenly angel forgiving the strange incomprehensible sins of earth.
Honore de Balzac
The national budget is not a safe-deposit box. It is a spray can.
Honore de Balzac
