More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Our greatest fears lie in anticipation.
Honore de Balzac
No woman has ever existed who did not know perfectly well in her heart what to expect from the superiority or inferiority of a rival.
Honore de Balzac
People exaggerate both happiness and unhappiness we are never so fortunate nor so unfortunate as people say we are.
Honore de Balzac
If youth were not ignorant and timid, civilization would be impossible.
Honore de Balzac
Envy lurks at the bottom of the human heart like a viper in its hole.
Honore de Balzac
Can you find a man who loves the occupation that provides him with a livelihood? Professions are like marriages we end by feeling only their inconveniences.
Honore de Balzac
A grocer is attracted to his business by a magnetic force as great as the repulsion which renders it odious to artists.
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
Love is perhaps no more than gratitude for pleasure.
Honore de Balzac
There are words which cut like steel.
Honore de Balzac
When an intelligent man reaches the point of inviting self-explanation and offers surrendering the key to his heart, he is assuredly riding a drunken horse.
Honore de Balzac
The boor covers himself, the rich man or the fool adorns himself, and the elegant man gets dressed.
Honore de Balzac
For a sick man the world begins at his pillow and ends at the foot of his bed.
Honore de Balzac
Nothing is a greater impediment to being on good terms with others than being ill at ease with yourself.
Honore de Balzac
While seeking out the dead, I see nothing but the living.
Honore de Balzac
To have one's mother-in-law in the country when one lives in Paris, and vice versa, is one of those strokes of luck that one encounters only too rarely.
Honore de Balzac
Fools gain greater advantages through their weakness than intelligent men through their strength. We watch a great man struggling against fate and we do not lift a finger to help him. But we patronize a grocer who is headed for bankruptcy.
Honore de Balzac
Reading brings us unknown friends
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
Clouds signify the veil of the Most High.
Honore de Balzac
