More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Little minds find satisfaction for their feelings, good or bad, in little things.
Honore de Balzac
Men are such dupes by choice, that he who would impose upon others never need be at a loss to find ready victims.
Honore de Balzac
In the first woman we love, we love everything. Growing older, we love the woman only.
Honore de Balzac
Those sweetly smiling angels with pensive looks, innocent faces, and cash-boxes for hearts.
Honore de Balzac
Beauty is the greatest of human powers. Any power without counterbalance or control becomes autocratic and leads to abuse and to folly. Despotism in a government is insanity in woman, fantasy.
Honore de Balzac
Towns find it as hard as houses of business to rise again from ruin.
Honore de Balzac
For a sick man the world begins at his pillow and ends at the foot of his bed.
Honore de Balzac
The causes that govern the heart appear to be wholly alien to the results achieved. Are the forces that moved a desperate criminal the same that fill a martyr with pride, as both mount the scaffold?
Honore de Balzac
The mind, too, has its regimen. It needs gymnastics, just like the body does.
Honore de Balzac
A jealous husband doesnt doubt his wife, but himself.
Honore de Balzac
Hatred like love feeds on the merest trifles. Everything adds to it. Just as the being we love can do no wrong, so the one we hate can do no right.
Honore de Balzac
Today nobility is gone: there is only a peerage.
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
Manners are the hypocrisy of a nation.
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
Old maids claw as cats do. They not only inflict wounds but experience pleasure in doing so. Nor will they fail to remind their victims of the blood drawn.
Honore de Balzac
When chaste people need body or mind to resort to action or thought, they find steel in their muscles or knowledge in their intelligence. Theirs the diabolic vigor or the black magic of will power.
Honore de Balzac
There are no little events with the heart. It magnifies everything it places in the same scales the fall of an empire of fourteen years and the dropping of a woman's glove, and almost always the glove weighs more than the empire.
Honore de Balzac
Nothing about me surprises me.
Honore de Balzac
Life cannot go on without much forgetting.
Honore de Balzac
