"It is easier to be a lover than a husband for the simple reason that it is more difficult to be witty every day than to say pretty things from time to time"
- Honore de Balzac
About this Quote
This quote by Honore de Balzac speaks with the trouble of sustaining a relationship gradually. Being a fan is easier than being a hubby due to the fact that it is much easier to state pretty things from time to time than to be amusing every day. This recommends that relationships require more than just occasional compliments and romantic gestures. To be successful, relationships require constant effort and imagination. It is inadequate to simply say great things every as soon as in a while; it is essential to be able to come up with new and intriguing ways to show your partner that you care. Balzac's quote is a pointer that relationships require ongoing effort which it is not enough to merely say good things from time to time.
"My sorrow, when she's here with me, thinks these dark days of autumn rain are beautiful as days can be; she loves the bare, the withered tree; she walks the sodden pasture lane"
"Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time"
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character"
