More quotes by Andre Maurois
[...] marriage is one thing, and love is another...You need to have a solid canvas nobody stops you to weave the arabesques.
Andre Maurois
Self-pity comes so naturally to all of us. The most solid happiness can be shaken by the compassion of a fool.
Andre Maurois
In literature as in love, we are astonished at what is chosen by others.
Andre Maurois
The most important quality in a leader is that of being acknowledged as such. All leaders whose fitness is questioned are clearly lacking in force.
Andre Maurois
The clear and simple words of common usage are always better than those of erudition. The jargon of the philosophers not seldom conceals an absence of thought.
Andre Maurois
We can talk frankly about our defects only to those who recognise our qualities.
Andre Maurois
Time is a factor in all action. An imperfect scheme put into action at the proper time is better than a perfect one accomplished too late.
Andre Maurois
Men and women are not born inconstant: they are made so by their early amorous experiences.
Andre Maurois
A marriage without conflicts is almost as inconceivable as a nation without crises.
Andre Maurois
Two human beings anchored to one another are like two ships shaken by waves their carcases collide with one another and creak.
Andre Maurois
A great statesman, like a good housekeeper, knows that cleaning has to be done every morning.
Andre Maurois
Information is not culture. In the mind of a truly educated person, facts are organized, and they make up a living world in the image of the world of reality.
Andre Maurois
Love born of anxiety resembles a thorn shaped so that efforts to pull it out of one's flesh merely cause it to penetrate more deeply therein.
Andre Maurois
An old man, having retired from active life, regains the gaity and irresponsibility of childhood. He is ready to play, he cannot run with his son, but he can totter with his grandson. Our first and last steps have the same rhythm.
Andre Maurois
Only passions can raise a man above the level of the animal.
Andre Maurois
In a discussion, the difficulty lies, not in being able to defend your opinion, but to know it.
Andre Maurois
The greedy search for money or success will almost always lead men into unhappiness. Why? Because that kind of life makes them depend upon things outside themselves.
Andre Maurois
There are certain persons for whom pure Truth is a poison.
Andre Maurois
Almost all great writers have as their motif, more or less disguised, the passage from childhood to maturity, the clash between the thrill of expectation and the disillusioning knowledge of truth. 'Lost Illusion' is the undisclosed title of every novel.
Andre Maurois
Housekeeping in common is for women the acid test.
Andre Maurois
