More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Resignation is a daily suicide.
Honore de Balzac
The man who enters his wife's dressing room is either a philosopher or a fool.
Honore de Balzac
Glory is a poison, good to be taken in small doses.
Honore de Balzac
Creole women take after Europe in their intelligence, after the Tropics in the illogical violence of their passions, and after the Indies in the apathetic indolence with which they commit or suffer good and evil.
Honore de Balzac
Good befalls us while we sleep, sometimes.
Honore de Balzac
Kindness steers no easy course. Attributing it to character, we seldom recognize the secret efforts of a noble heart, whereas we reward really wicked people for the evil they refrain from committing.
Honore de Balzac
Men who pay their tailors never amount to anything, they never even become Cabinet ministers.
Honore de Balzac
Events are never absolute, their outcome depends entirely upon the individual.
Honore de Balzac
Those sweetly smiling angels with pensive looks, innocent faces, and cash-boxes for hearts.
Honore de Balzac
A sacrament by virtue of which each imparts nothing but vexations to the other.
Honore de Balzac
It is quite right what they say: the three most beautiful sights in the world are a ship in full sail, a galloping horse, and a woman dancing.
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
In the first woman we love, we love everything. Growing older, we love the woman only.
Honore de Balzac
Any man, however blase or depraved, finds his love kindled anew when he sees himself threatened by a rival.
Honore de Balzac
Novelty is both delightful and deceptive.
Honore de Balzac
I prefer thought to action, an idea to a transaction, contemplation to activity.
Honore de Balzac
Innocence alone dares commit certain acts of audacity. Virtue, when tutored, is as calculating as vice.
Honore de Balzac
Even beauty cannot always palliate eccentricity.
Honore de Balzac
What a thing of fantasy a woman may become after dusk.
Honore de Balzac
A woman in love has full intelligence of her power the more virtuous she is, the more effective her coquetry.
Honore de Balzac
