More quotes by Honore de Balzac
No woman has ever existed who did not know perfectly well in her heart what to expect from the superiority or inferiority of a rival.
Honore de Balzac
Noble hearts are neither jealous nor afraid because jealousy spells doubt and fear spells pettiness.
Honore de Balzac
Behind every fortune there is a crime.
Honore de Balzac
Some troubles, like a protested note of a solvent debtor, bear interest.
Honore de Balzac
The causes that govern the heart appear to be wholly alien to the results achieved. Are the forces that moved a desperate criminal the same that fill a martyr with pride, as both mount the scaffold?
Honore de Balzac
All genuinely noble women prefer truth to falsehood. As the Russians with their Czar, they are unwilling to see their idol degraded they want to be proud of the domination they accept.
Honore de Balzac
He's got his dog trained so that it only does it on newspapers. The trouble is it does it when he's reading the blasted things.
Honore de Balzac
There are no little events with the heart. It magnifies everything it places in the same scales the fall of an empire of fourteen years and the dropping of a woman's glove, and almost always the glove weighs more than the empire.
Honore de Balzac
Gentleness in the gait is what simplicity is in the dress. Violent gestures or quick movements inspire involuntary disrespect.
Honore de Balzac
Religious ecstasy is a madness of thought freed of its bodily bonds, whereas in the ecstasy of love, the forces of twin natures unite, blend and embrace one another.
Honore de Balzac
My further advice on your relations to women is based upon that other motto of chivalry, Serve all, love one.
Honore de Balzac
The more you judge, the less you love.
Honore de Balzac
Marriage must fight constantly against a monster which devours everything: routine.
Honore de Balzac
Nothing about me surprises me.
Honore de Balzac
All happiness depends on courage and work.
Honore de Balzac
Glory and fame mean twelve thousand francs' worth of paid articles in the newspapers and five thousand crowns' worth of dinners.
Honore de Balzac
For young people always begin by loving exaggeration, that infirmity of noble minds.
Honore de Balzac
Women, perhaps even require a little hypocrisy.
Honore de Balzac
How did you get back?' asked Vautrin. 'I walked,' replied Eugene. 'I wouldn't like half-pleasures, myself,' observed the tempter. 'I'd want to go there in my own carriage, have my own box, and come back in comfort. All or nothing, that's my motto.' 'And a very good one,' said Madame Vauquer.
Honore de Balzac
Reproach is usually honest, which is more than can be said of praise.
Honore de Balzac
