More quotes by Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
Happiness lends poetic charms to woman, and dress adorns her like a delicate tinge of rouge.
Honore de Balzac
With a woman, always make good use of a secret. She will be proportionally grateful to you, like a scoundrel who grants his respect to an honest man he has been unable to swindle.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
A husband can commit no greater blunder than to discuss his wife, if she is virtuous, with his mistress unless it be to mention his mistress, if she is beautiful, to his wife.
Honore de Balzac
By dint of making sacrifices, a man grows interested in the person who exacts them. Great ladies, like courtesans, know this truth by instinct.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
There is nothing original all is reflected light.
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
Ah! how much a mother learns from her child! The constant protection of a helpless being forces us to so strict an alliance with virtue, that a woman never shows to full advantage except as a mother. Then alone can her character expand in the fulfillment of all life's duties and the enjoyment of all its pleasures.
Honore de Balzac
How natural it is to destroy what we cannot possess, to deny what we do not understand, and to insult what we envy!
Honore de Balzac
Necessity is the spur of genius.
Honore de Balzac
Bureaucracy is a giant mechanism operated by pygmies.
Honore de Balzac
White hair often covers the head, but the heart that holds it is ever young.
Honore de Balzac
The boor covers himself, the rich man or the fool adorns himself, and the elegant man gets dressed.
Honore de Balzac
In a husband, there is only a man in a married woman, there is a man, a father, a mother and a woman.
Honore de Balzac
God is the poet men are but the actors. The great dramas of earth were written in heaven.
