More quotes by Honore de Balzac
All happiness depends on courage and work.
Honore de Balzac
The pleasures of love proceed successively from a distich to a quatrain, from a quatrain to a sonnet, from a sonnet to a ballad, from a ballad to an ode, from an ode to a cantata, and from a cantata to a dithyramb. A husband who begins with the dithyramb is a fool.
Honore de Balzac
Little minds find satisfaction for their feelings, good or bad, in little things.
Honore de Balzac
A young bride is like a plucked flower but a guilty wife is like a flower that had been walked over.
Honore de Balzac
Men who pay their tailors never amount to anything, they never even become Cabinet ministers.
Honore de Balzac
Like hunger, physical love is a necessity. But man's appetite for amour is never so regular or so sustained as his appetite for the delights of the table.
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
A man's own vanity is a swindler that never lacks for a dupe.
Honore de Balzac
In smart society men are jealous of one another after the fashion of women.
Honore de Balzac
Rich women need not fear old age their gold can always create about them any feelings necessary to their happiness.
Honore de Balzac
Your modest savant smiles as he says to his admirers: What have I done? Nothing. Man does not invent a force, he directs it.
Honore de Balzac
No navigator has yet traced lines of latitude and longitude on the conjugal sea.
Honore de Balzac
Remorse is impotence, impotence which sins again. Repentance alone is powerful it ends all.
Honore de Balzac
Love may be or it may not, but where it is, it ought to reveal itself in its immensity.
Honore de Balzac
Women are happy to possess a man whom all women covet.
Honore de Balzac
One can imagine the look the two lovers exchanged it was like a flame, for virtuous lovers have not a shred of hypocrisy.
Honore de Balzac
While seeking out the dead, I see nothing but the living.
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
Nothing can afford a woman greater pleasure than to hear tender words of love. The strictest, most devout woman will listen even if she must not answer.
Honore de Balzac
Self-interest is an ineffable feeling which shall follow us into God's very presence since they say there is a hierarchy even among the Holy Saints.
Honore de Balzac
