More quotes by Honore de Balzac
The more you judge, the less you love.
Honore de Balzac
Woman is a most charming creature, who changes her heart as easily as she does her gloves.
Honore de Balzac
A courage which looks easy & yet is rare the courage of a teacher repeating day after day the same lessons - the least rewarded of all forms of courage.
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
Several sorts of memory exist in us body and mind each possesses one peculiar to itself. Nostalgia, for instance, is a malady of the physical memory.
Honore de Balzac
It is as absurd to say that a man can't love one woman all the time as it is to say that a violinist needs several violins to play the same piece of music.
Honore de Balzac
Tradesmen regard an author with a mixed feeling of terror, compassion and curiosity.
Honore de Balzac
Marriage must fight constantly against a monster which devours everything: routine.
Honore de Balzac
You cannot pluck love out of your heart as you would pull a tooth.
Honore de Balzac
Manners are the hypocrisy of a nation.
Honore de Balzac
Woman is stronger by virtue of her feelings than man by virtue of his power.
Honore de Balzac
If we study Nature attentively in its great evolutions as in its minutest works, we cannot fail to recognize the possibility of enchantment - giving to that word its exact significance.
Honore de Balzac
Men who pay their tailors never amount to anything, they never even become Cabinet ministers.
Honore de Balzac
Like most young people, these two attributed to the world their own intelligence and virtues. Youth who knows no failure has no mercy on the faults of other people but it has also a sublime faith in them.
Honore de Balzac
Genuine sorrows are very tranquil in appearance in the deep bed they have dug for themselves. But, seeming to slumber, they corrode the soul like that frightful acid which penetrates crystal.
Honore de Balzac
The prodigality of millionaires is comparable only to their greed of gain. Let some whim or passion seize them and money is of no account. In fact these Croesuses find whims and passions harder to come by than gold.
Honore de Balzac
The national budget is not a safe-deposit box. It is a spray can.
Honore de Balzac
But does not happiness come from the soul within?
Honore de Balzac
In intimate family life, there comes a moment when children, willingly or no, become the judges of their parents.
Honore de Balzac
Love is a game in which one always cheats.
Honore de Balzac
