A Quote by Honore de Balzac

Behind every great fortune lies a great crime. — © Honore de Balzac
Behind every great fortune lies a great crime.
Behind every fortune there is a crime.
Behind every fortune, there's a crime.
Behind every successful fortune;There is Crime.
Wherever you find a great man, you will find a great mother or a great wife standing behind him -- or so they used to say. It would be interesting to know how many great women have had great fathers and husbands behind them.
Behind every great man there stands a great woman. Behind every great woman is a great behind.
No more than a famous master can be replaced and another take over the completion of the half-finished painting he has left behind can the great poet and thinker, the great statesman and the great soldier, be replaced. For their activity lies always in the province of art. It is not mechanically trained but inborn by God's grace.
Behind every great leader, at the base of every great tale of success, you will find an indispensable circle of trusted advisors, mentors, and colleagues.
My great crime wasn't refusing to represent an innocent man; my great crime was imagining that there was some path to racial justice that did not include those we view as 'guilty'.
Behind every word a whole world is hidden that must be imagined. Actually, every word has a great burden of memories, not only just of one person but of all mankind. Take a word such as bread, or war; take a word such as chair, or bed or Heaven. Behind every word is a whole world. I'm afraid that most people use words as something to throw away without sensing the burden that lies in a word.
The danger chiefly lies in acting well; no crime's so great as daring to excel.
Behind every great amusement park is a great fan site.
Behind every great woman is a great behind!
Beside all the small reasons we assign, there is a great reason for the existence of every extant fact; a reason which lies grandand immovable, often unsuspected behind it in silence.
Behind every great achievement is a dreamer of great dreams.
They say behind every great man is a great woman, but I think it works the other way round as well.
Not much happens without a dream. And for something great to happen, there must be a great dream. Behind every great achievement is a dreamer of great dreams. Much more than a dreamer is required to bring it to reality; but the dream must be there first.
