Honore De Balzac Quotes

And Why Should I Not Confess That This Friendship, And The Testimony Here And There Of Persons Unknown To Me, Have Upheld Me In My Career, Both Against Myself And Against Unjust Attacks; Against The Calumny Which Has Often Persecuted Me, Against Discouragement, And Against The Too Eager Hopefulness Whose Utterances Are Misinterpreted As Those Of Overwhelming Conceit? I Had Resolved To Display Stolid Stoicism In The Face Of Abuse And Insults; But On Two Occasions Base Slanders Have Necessitated A Reply. Though The Advocates Of Forgiveness Of Injuries May Regret That I Should Have Displayed My Skill In Literary Fence, There Are Many Christians Who Are Of Opinion That We Live In Times When It Is As Well To Show Sometimes That Silence Springs From Generosity.
