Honore de Balzac
The love of nature is the only love that does not deceive human hopes.
Honore de Balzac
Our energies are often stimulated by the necessity of supporting a being weaker than ourselves.
Honore de Balzac
The man who enters his wife's dressing room is either a philosopher or a fool.
Honore de Balzac
It is as easy to dream a book as it is hard to write one.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
What makes friendship indissolute and what doubles its charms is a feeling we find lacking in love: I mean certitude.
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 young bride is like a plucked flower but a guilty wife is like a flower that had been walked over.
Honore de Balzac
They [twin beds] are the most stupid, the most perfidious, and the most dangerous invention in the world. Shame and a curse on who thought of them.
Honore de Balzac
Love is not only a feeling, it is also an art. A simple word, a sensitive precaution, a mere nothing reveal to a woman the sublime artist who can touch her heart without withering it.
Honore de Balzac
Where poverty ceases, avarice begins.
Honore de Balzac
Self-love is as protective as the Deity Disenchantment is as perspicacious as a surgeon Experience is as provident as a mother. Such are the theologic virtues of marriage.
Honore de Balzac
To have one's mother-in-law in the country when one lives in Paris, and vice versa, is one of those strokes of luck that one encounters only too rarely.
Honore de Balzac
In France everything is a matter for jest. People make quips about the scaffold, about Napoleon's defeat on the banks of The Beresina, and about the barricades of our revolutions. So, at the assizes of the Last Judgment, there will always be a Frenchmen to crack a joke.
Honore de Balzac
Love passes quickly, and passes like a street Arab, anxious to mark his way with mischief.
Honore de Balzac
A woman, even a prude, is not long at a loss, however dire her plight. She would seen always to have in hand the fig leaf our Mother Eve bequeathed to her.
Honore de Balzac
Pity is woman's sweetest charm.
Honore de Balzac
