More quotes by Andre Maurois
In literature as in love, we are astonished at what is chosen by others.
Andre Maurois
A successful marriage is an edifice that must be rebuilt every day.
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
A friend loves you for your intelligence, a mistress for your charm, but your family's love is unreasoning you were born into it and are of its flesh and blood. Nevertheless it can irritate you more than any group of people in the world.
Andre Maurois
Modesty and unselfishness - these are the virtues which men praise - and pass by.
Andre Maurois
The first recipe for happiness is: avoid too lengthy meditation on the past.
Andre Maurois
Happiness is never there to stay [...] Happiness is merely a respite offered by inquietude.
Andre Maurois
We console ourselves with several friends for not having found one real one.
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
Men fear silence as they fear solitude, because both give them a glimpse of the terror of life's nothingness.
Andre Maurois
Our minds have unbelievable power over our bodies.
Andre Maurois
Old age is far more than white hair, wrinkles, the feeling that it is too late and the game finished, that the stage belongs to the rising generations. The true evil is not the weakening of the body, but the indifference of the soul.
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
If you create a character, you create a destiny.
Andre Maurois
Business is a combination of war and sport.
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
Artificial inflation of stocks must be considered a crime as serious as counterfeiting, which it closely resembles.
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
We can talk frankly about our defects only to those who recognise our qualities.
Andre Maurois
When you become used to never being alone, you may consider yourself Americanised
