More quotes by Andre Maurois
A happy marriage is a long conversation which always seems too short.
Andre Maurois
Novelty, the most potent of all attractions, is also the most perishable.
Andre Maurois
If, in New York, you arrive late for an appointment, say, I took a taxi.
Andre Maurois
A successful marriage is an edifice that must be rebuilt every day.
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
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
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
Without a family, man, alone in the world, trembles with the cold.
Andre Maurois
In literature as in love, we are astonished at what is chosen by others.
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
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
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
People are discontent men are troubled and the literature is excellent.
Andre Maurois
Often we allow ourselves to be upset by small things we should despise and forget. We lose many irreplaceable hours brooding over grievances that, in a year's time, will be forgotten by us and by everybody. No, let us devote our life to worthwhile actions and feelings, to great thoughts, real affections and enduring undertakings.
Andre Maurois
Style is the outcome of constraint.
Andre Maurois
A great statesman, like a good housekeeper, knows that cleaning has to be done every morning.
Andre Maurois
The difficult part in an argument is not to defend one's opinion but rather to know it.
Andre Maurois
Artificial inflation of stocks must be considered a crime as serious as counterfeiting, which it closely resembles.
Andre Maurois
Happiness is never there to stay [...] Happiness is merely a respite offered by inquietude.
Andre Maurois
