Marriage must fight constantly against a monster which devours everything: routine.
Honore de Balzac
For the person who loves God, worship is the daily bread of patience.
Honore de Balzac
The winter's frost must rend the burr of the nut before the fruit is seen. So adversity tempers the human heart, to discover its real worth.
Honore de Balzac
Kindness is not without its rocks ahead. People are apt to put it down to an easy temper and seldom recognize it as the secret striving of a generous nature whilst, on the other hand, the ill-natured get credit for all the evil they refrain from.
Honore de Balzac
The love of nature is the only love that does not deceive human hopes.
Honore de Balzac
Virtue in women is perhaps a question of temperament.
Honore de Balzac
Reproach is usually honest, which is more than can be said of praise.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
God is the poet men are but the actors. The great dramas of earth were written in heaven.
Honore de Balzac

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
During the great storms of our lives we imitate those captains who jettison their weightiest cargo.
Honore de Balzac
A lover teaches a wife all her husband has kept from her.
Honore de Balzac
Let passion reach a catastrophe and it submits us to an intoxicating force far more powerful than the niggardly irritation of wine or of opium. The lucidity our ideas then achieve, and the delicacy of our overly exalted sensations, produce the strangest and most unexpected effects.
Honore de Balzac
Poetry is only born after painful journeys into the vast regions of thought.
Honore de Balzac
A good husband is never the first to go to sleep at night or the last to awake in the morning.
Honore de Balzac
Marriageable girls as well as mothers understand the terms and perils of the lottery called wedlock. That is why women weep at a wedding and men smile.
Honore de Balzac
A sacrament by virtue of which each imparts nothing but vexations to the other.
Honore de Balzac
