More quotes by Honore de Balzac
A man who stops at nothing short of the law is very clever indeed!
Honore de Balzac
Genuine sorrows are very tranquil in appearance in the deep bed they have dug for themselves. But, seeming to slumber, they corrode the soul like that frightful acid which penetrates crystal.
Honore de Balzac
Women see everything or nothing according to the inclination of their hearts. Love is their sole light.
Honore de Balzac
The fashions we call English in Paris are French in London, and vice versa. Franco-British hostility vanishes when it comes to questions of words and clothing. God save the King is a tune composed by Lully for a chorus in a play by Racine.
Honore de Balzac
Show me the woman, however loyal, who does not seek to rouse desire.
Honore de Balzac
The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.
Honore de Balzac
Everything is bilateral in the domain of thought. Ideas are binary. Janus is the myth of criticism and the symbol of genius. Only God is triangular!
Honore de Balzac
Several sorts of memory exist in us body and mind each possesses one peculiar to itself. Nostalgia, for instance, is a malady of the physical memory.
Honore de Balzac
But woman brings disorder into society through passion.
Honore de Balzac
L'amour n'est pas seulement un sentiment, il est un art aussi. Love is not only a feeling it is also an art.
Honore de Balzac
He who best knows the world will love it least.
Honore de Balzac
For the person who loves God, worship is the daily bread of patience.
Honore de Balzac
Some day you will find out that there is far more happiness in another's happiness than in your own.
Honore de Balzac
Emulation is not rivalry. Emulation is the child of ambition rivalry is the unlovable daughter of envy.
Honore de Balzac
Fools gain greater advantages through their weakness than intelligent men through their strength. We watch a great man struggling against fate and we do not lift a finger to help him. But we patronize a grocer who is headed for bankruptcy.
Honore de Balzac
Suicide, moreover, was at the time in vogue in Paris: what more suitable key to the mystery of life for a skeptical society?
Honore de Balzac
People exaggerate both happiness and unhappiness we are never so fortunate nor so unfortunate as people say we are.
Honore de Balzac
Chance, my dear, is the sovereign deity in child-bearing.
Honore de Balzac
During the great storms of our lives we imitate those captains who jettison their weightiest cargo.
Honore de Balzac
It is no sin to be tempted the wickedness lies in being overcome.
Honore de Balzac
