More quotes by Andre Maurois
I knew a man who had been virtually drowned and then revived. He said that his death had not been painful.
Andre Maurois
A true woman loves a strong man because she knows his weaknesses. She protects as much as she is protected.
Andre Maurois
He who wants to do everything will never do anything.
Andre Maurois
Live as if you were eternal.
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
Memory is a great artist. For every man and for every woman it makes the recollection of his or her life a work of art and an unfaithful record.
Andre Maurois
What men call friendship is only social intercourse, an exchange of favours and good offices it comes down to a commercial dealing in which self-esteem always expects to profit.
Andre Maurois
Men and women are not born inconstant: they are made so by their early amorous experiences.
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
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
Self-pity comes so naturally to all of us.
Andre Maurois
It is often said that in prosperity we have many friends, but that we are usually neglected when things go badly. I disagree. Not only do malicious people flock about us in order to witness our ruin, but other unfortunates as well, who have been kept away by our happiness, and now feel close to us on account of our troubles.
Andre Maurois
Inspiration in matters of taste will not come twice.
Andre Maurois
Every ten years you should delete from your mind a few ideas that your experience has proven to be false.
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
Growing old is no more than a bad habit which a busy person has no time to form.
Andre Maurois
Our minds have unbelievable power over our bodies.
Andre Maurois
Marriage makes a man more vulnerable by doubling the expanse of sail exposed to the tempests of social life.
Andre Maurois
All of us, from time to time, need a plunge into freedom and novelty, after which routine and discipline will seem delightful by contrast.
Andre Maurois
Novelty, the most potent of all attractions, is also the most perishable.
Andre Maurois
