More quotes by Andre Maurois
To be witty is not enough. One must possess sufficient wit to avoid having too much of it.
Andre Maurois
Either the soul is immortal and we shall not die, or it perishes with the flesh and we shall not know that we are dead. Live, then, as if you were eternal.
Andre Maurois
If you value a man's regard, strive with him. As to liking, you like your newspaper - and despise it.
Andre Maurois
The minds of different generations are as impenetrable one by the other as are the monads of Leibniz.

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
Artificial inflation of stocks must be considered a crime as serious as counterfeiting, which it closely resembles.
Andre Maurois

Andre Maurois
People are discontent men are troubled and the literature is excellent.
Andre Maurois
Our minds have unbelievable power over our bodies.
Andre Maurois
He who has found a good wife has found great happiness, but a quarrelsome woman is like a roof that lets in the rain.
Andre Maurois
To feminine eyes a man's prestige, or his fame, envelops him in a luminous haze which obscures his faults. The triumphs of an aviator, an actor, a football player, an orator are often responsible for the beginning of a love affair.
