Examples & warnings - Quote

If you are not a good example yourself, then you simply have to behave like a dire warning ...

Honoré de Balzac quotes

The more one judges, the less one loves.
Plus on juge, moins on aime.

A man is a poor creature compared to a woman.

Children, dear and loving children, can alone console a woman for the loss of her beauty.

When women love us, they forgive us everything, even our crimes; when they do not love us, they give us credit for nothing, not even our virtues.

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

The virtue of women is perhaps a question of temperament.

The most virtuous women have in them something that is never chaste.

The secret of great fortunes without apparent cause is a crime forgotten, for it was properly done.

At fifteen, beauty and talent do not exist; there can only be promise of the coming woman.

Passion is in all humanity, without it, religion, history, literature, and art would be rendered useless.

Optimism is bad for humor.

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

The Road Not Taken

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference
