Honore de Balzac

• All happiness depends on courage and work.
• Every moment of happiness requires a great amount of Ignorance
• Life is simply what our feelings do to us.
• Our greatest fears lie in anticipation.
• Our heart is a treasury; if you pour out all its wealth at once, you are bankrupt.
• Passion is born deaf and dumb.
• The more one judges, the less one loves.
• The smallest flower is a thought, a life answering to some feature of the Great Whole, of whom they have a persistent intuition.
• There is no such thing as a great talent without great willpower.
• When you doubt your power, you give power to your doubt.
