More quotes by Honore de Balzac
It is a singular fact that most men of action incline to the theory of fatalism, while the greater part of men of thought believe in providence.
Honore de Balzac
Generally our confidences move downward rather than upward in our secret affairs, we employ our inferiors much more than our bettors.
Honore de Balzac
All genuinely noble women prefer truth to falsehood. As the Russians with their Czar, they are unwilling to see their idol degraded they want to be proud of the domination they accept.
Honore de Balzac
Woman has this in common with angels, that suffering beings belong especially to her.
Honore de Balzac
Kindness steers no easy course. Attributing it to character, we seldom recognize the secret efforts of a noble heart, whereas we reward really wicked people for the evil they refrain from committing.
Honore de Balzac
A penniless man who has no ties to bind him is master of himself at any rate, but a luckless wretch who is in love no longer belongs to himself, and may not take his own life. Love makes us almost sacred in our own eyes it is the life of another that we revere within us then and so begins for us the cruelest trouble of all.
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
There are moments in life when all we can bear is the sense that our friend is near us our wounds would wince at the touch of consoling words, that would reveal the depths of our pain.
Honore de Balzac
France is a country that loves to change their government if it is always the same.
Honore de Balzac
Ideas devour the ages as men are devoured by their passions. When man is cured, human nature will cure itself perhaps.
Honore de Balzac
A man who stops at nothing short of the law is very clever indeed!
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
Memories beautify life, but the capacity to forget makes it bearable.
Honore de Balzac
L'amour n'est pas seulement un sentiment, il est un art aussi. Love is not only a feeling it is also an art.
Honore de Balzac
Let us leave the cure of public evils to those quacks, the statesmen.
Honore de Balzac
The woman you buy takes a great deal of money. The woman who gives herself to you takes all your money.
Honore de Balzac
Our energies are often stimulated by the necessity of supporting a being weaker than ourselves.
Honore de Balzac
Virtue is not a thing you can have by halves it is or it is not.
Honore de Balzac
When women love, they forgive everything...
Honore de Balzac
The motto of chivalry is also the motto of wisdom to serve all, but love only one.
Honore de Balzac
