More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Vivacity is the health of the spirit.
Honore de Balzac
Glory is a poison, good to be taken in small doses.
Honore de Balzac
Bankers are lynxes. To expect any gratitude from them is equivalent to attempting to move the wolves of the Ukraine to pity in the middle of winter.
Honore de Balzac
There are no principles there are only events. There is no good and bad, there are only circumstances.
Honore de Balzac
Hatred like love feeds on the merest trifles.
Honore de Balzac
For businessmen, the world is a bale of banknotes in circulation for most young men, it is a woman for some women, it is a man and for others it may be a salon, a coterie, a part of town or a whole city.
Honore de Balzac
Life in clubs is no paltry sign of the times we live in. Here gentlemen gamble with others whom they would not dream of inviting to their homes.
Honore de Balzac
All happiness depends on courage and work.
Honore de Balzac
When passion is not fed, it changes to need. At this juncture, marriage becomes a fixed idea in the mind of the bourgeois, being the only means whereby he can win a woman and appropriate her to his uses.
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
The more you judge, the less you love.
Honore de Balzac
Love is the poetry of the senses.
Honore de Balzac
A letter is a soul, so faithful an echo of the speaking voice that to the sensitive it is among the richest treasures of love.
Honore de Balzac
A husband and wife who are in the habit of occupying separate rooms are either beings apart, or they have found happiness. Either they hate or they adore each other.
Honore de Balzac
The national budget is not a safe-deposit box. It is a spray can.
Honore de Balzac
The endless legacy of the past to the present is the secret source of human genius.
Honore de Balzac
A lover always thinks of his mistress first and himself second with a husband it runs the other way.
Honore de Balzac
To those who have exhausted politics, nothing remains but abstract thought.
Honore de Balzac
Love is a game in which one always cheats.
Honore de Balzac
We exaggerate misfortune and happiness alike. We are never as bad off or as happy as we say we are.
Honore de Balzac
