More quotes by Andre Maurois
No one can be profoundly original who does not avoid eccentricity.
Andre Maurois
Only passions can raise a man above the level of the animal.
Andre Maurois
Housekeeping in common is for women the acid test.
Andre Maurois
The longer the road to love, the keener is the pleasure...
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
The minds of different generations are as impenetrable one by the other as are the monads of Leibniz.
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
British conversation is like a game of cricket or a boxing match personal allusions are forbidden like hitting below the belt, and anyone who loses his temper is disqualified.
Andre Maurois
If, in New York, you arrive late for an appointment, say, I took a taxi.
Andre Maurois
In literature as in love, we are astonished at what is chosen by others.
Andre Maurois
Style is the hallmark of a temperament stamped upon the material at hand.
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
The first recipe for happiness is: avoid too lengthy meditation on the past.
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
To reason with poorly chosen words is like using a pair of scales with inaccurate weights.
Andre Maurois
People are what you make them. A scornful look turns into a complete fool a man of average intelligence. A contemptuous indifference turns into an enemy a woman who, well treated, might have been an angel.
Andre Maurois
We console ourselves with several friends for not having found one real one.
Andre Maurois
A gentleman is never in a hurry.
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
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
