"Towns find it as hard as houses of business to rise again from ruin"

- Honore de Balzac

About this Quote

In this quote, Honore de Balzac is comparing towns to homes of service in their capability to recover from damage. Just as it is tough for a service to bounce back from monetary ruin, it is equally challenging for a town to reconstruct after experiencing destruction. This might describe physical destruction brought on by war or natural disasters, or perhaps economic downturns. Balzac is highlighting the strength and determination needed to restore and revive a town, which is typically a collective effort of its inhabitants. It likewise recommends that the effect of mess up on a town can be just as serious as it is on an organization.
