Thought is the only treasure ...

Thought is the only treasure that God sets outside all power and keeps to serve as a secret link among the unhappy.

Honore De Balzac 785 quotes

Remorse is impotent; it will ...

Remorse is impotent; it will repeat its faults. Repentance only is a true force; it puts an end to everything.

Honore De Balzac 785 quotes

The fashions we call English ...

The fashions we call English in Paris are French in London, and vice versa. Franco-British hostility vanishes when it comes to questions of words and clothing. God save the King is a tune composed by Lully for a chorus in a play by Racine.

Among fifty percent of your m...

Among fifty percent of your married couples, the husband worries very little about what his wife is doing, provided she is doing all he wishes.

Honore De Balzac 785 quotes

Discouragement is of all ages...

Discouragement is of all ages: In youth it is a presentiment, in old age a remembrance.

You're a fine fastidious young man, as proud as a lion, as gentle as a girl. You'd make a good catch for the devil.

Incurable wounds are those inflicted by tongue and eye, by mockery and disdain.

Honore De Balzac 785 quotes

How did you get back?' asked ...

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.

Science is the language of the temporal world; love is that of the spiritual world. Man, indeed, describes more than he explains; while the angelic spirit sees and understands. Science saddens man; love enraptures the angel; science is still seeking; love has found.

Honore De Balzac 785 quotes

Glory is a poison, good to be...

Glory is a poison, good to be taken in small doses.

Honore De Balzac 785 quotes

The world will avenge itself ...

The world will avenge itself upon all happiness in which it has no share.

Honore De Balzac 785 quotes

A woman's sentimental monkeys...

A woman's sentimental monkeyshines will always deceive her lover, who invariably waxes ecstatic where her husband necessarily shrugs his shoulders.

Honore De Balzac 785 quotes

To man, faith; to woman, doub...

To man, faith; to woman, doubt. She bears the heavier burden. Does not woman invariably suffer for two?

Honore De Balzac 785 quotes

I declare, on my soul and con...

I declare, on my soul and conscience, that the attainment of power, or of a great name in literature, seemed to me an easier victory than a success with some young, witty, and gracious lady of high degree.

Honore De Balzac 785 quotes

Conviction brings a silent, i...

Conviction brings a silent, indefinable beauty into faces made of the commonest human clay; the devout worshiper at any shrine reflects something of its golden glow, even as the glory of a noble love shines like a sort of light from a woman's face.

Honore De Balzac 785 quotes

For pain is perhaps but a vio...

For pain is perhaps but a violent pleasure? Who could determine the point where pleasure becomes pain, where pain is still a pleasure? Is not the utmost brightness of the ideal world soothing to us, while the lightest shadows of the physical world annoy?

Honore De Balzac 785 quotes

Only when one has learned to ...

Only when one has learned to acknowledge that wiser minds have made better words to come out of our mouths may we truly, then, begin to speak them.

Honore De Balzac 785 quotes

Narrow minds can develop as w...

Narrow minds can develop as well through persecution as through benevolence; they can assure themselves of their power by tyrannizing cruelly or beneficially over others.

Honore De Balzac 785 quotes

Neither the passions not just...

Neither the passions not justice nor politics nor the great social forces ever consider the victims they strike.

Necessity is the spur of genius.
