More quotes by Andre Maurois
Inspiration in matters of taste will not come twice.
Andre Maurois
Happiness is never there to stay [...] Happiness is merely a respite offered by inquietude.
Andre Maurois
It is not events and the things one sees and enjoys that produce happiness, but a state of mind which can endow events with its own quality, and we must hope for the duration of this state rather than the recurrence of pleasurable events.
Andre Maurois
He who wants to do everything will never do anything.
Andre Maurois
For intelligent people, action often means escape from thought, but it is a reasonable and a wise escape.
Andre Maurois
It is better to teach a few things perfectly than many things indifferently...
Andre Maurois
Without a family, man, alone in the world, trembles with the cold.
Andre Maurois
Business is a combination of war and sport.
Andre Maurois
Advice is always a confession.
Andre Maurois
If, in New York, you arrive late for an appointment, say, I took a taxi.
Andre Maurois
Housekeeping in common is for women the acid test.
Andre Maurois
Among the idle rich, boredom is one of the most common causes of unhappiness. People who have difficulty in earning their living may suffer greatly, but they are not bored. Wealthy men and women become bored when they depend upon the theater for their enjoyment instead of making their own lives interesting.
Andre Maurois
A great biography should, like the close of a great drama, leave behind it a feeling of serenity. We collect into a small bunch the flowers, the few flowers, which brought sweetness into a life, and present it as an offering to an accomplished destiny. It is the dying refrain of a completed song, the final verse of a finished poem.
Andre Maurois
There are certain persons for whom pure Truth is a poison.
Andre Maurois
When you become used to never being alone, you may consider yourself Americanised
Andre Maurois
Men and women are not born inconstant: they are made so by their early amorous experiences.
Andre Maurois
Often we allow ourselves to be upset by small things we should despise and forget. We lose many irreplaceable hours brooding over grievances that, in a year's time, will be forgotten by us and by everybody. No, let us devote our life to worthwhile actions and feelings, to great thoughts, real affections and enduring undertakings.
Andre Maurois
Genius consists of equal parts of natural aptitude and hard work.
Andre Maurois
Experience is valuable only when it has brought suffering and when the suffering has left its mark upon both body and mind.
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
