More quotes by Andre Maurois
[...] marriage is one thing, and love is another...You need to have a solid canvas nobody stops you to weave the arabesques.
Andre Maurois
A marriage without conflicts is almost as inconceivable as a nation without crises.
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
The art of growing old is the art of being regarded by the oncoming generations as a support and not as a stumbling-block...
Andre Maurois
A great statesman, like a good housekeeper, knows that cleaning has to be done every morning.
Andre Maurois
There are deserts in every life, and the desert must be depicted if we are to give a fair and complete idea of the country.
Andre Maurois
Business is a combination of war and sport.
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.
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
Men and women are not born inconstant: they are made so by their early amorous experiences.
Andre Maurois
Style is the outcome of constraint.
Andre Maurois
A successful marriage is an edifice that must be rebuilt every day.
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
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
Housekeeping in common is for women the acid test.
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
A gentleman is never in a hurry.
Andre Maurois
We appreciate frankness from those who like us. Frankness from others is called insolence.
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.
