Honore de Balzac
  • A mother's happiness is like a beacon, lighting up the future but reflected also on the past in the guise of fond memories.

  • Clouds symbolize the veils that shroud God.

  • A good husband is never the first to go to sleep at night or the last to awake in the morning.

  • Behind every great fortune lies a great crime.

  • There is no such thing as a great talent without great will power.
