More quotes by Andre Maurois
Modesty and unselfishness - these are the virtues which men praise - and pass by.
Andre Maurois
One has very little influence upon one's children. Their characters are what they are and one can do nothing to change them.
Andre Maurois
Novelty, the most potent of all attractions, is also the most perishable.
Andre Maurois
We don't love a woman for what she says, we like what she says because we love her.
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 desire to be perpetually in the society of a pretty woman until the end of one's days, is as if, because one likes good wine, one wished always to have one's mouth full of it.
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
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
No one can be profoundly original who does not avoid eccentricity.
Andre Maurois
Growing old is no more than a bad habit which a busy person has no time to form.
Andre Maurois
Above all things, never be afraid. The enemy who forces you to retreat is himself afraid of you at that very moment.
Andre Maurois
Smile, for everyone lacks self-confidence and more than any other one thing a smile reassures them.
Andre Maurois
Only passions can raise a man above the level of the animal.
Andre Maurois
The need to express one's self in writing springs from a maladjustment of life, or from an inner conflict which the adolescent (or the grown man) cannot resolve in action.
Andre Maurois
In a discussion, the difficulty lies, not in being able to defend your opinion, but to know it.
Andre Maurois
A great man's manias must be respected, because the time required to combat them is too precious to waste.
Andre Maurois
Woman's great strength lies in being late or absent. Presence immediately reveals the weak points of our beloved when she is absent she become one of the sylph-like figures of our adolescence whom we endowed with perfection.
Andre Maurois
Every ten years you should delete from your mind a few ideas that your experience has proven to be false.
Andre Maurois
A great writer has a high respect for values. His essential function is to raise life to the dignity of thought, and this he does by giving it a shape.
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
