More quotes by Andre Maurois

Andre Maurois
Business is a combination of war and sport.
Andre Maurois

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
Style is the hallmark of a temperament stamped upon the material at hand.
Andre Maurois
A gentleman is never in a hurry.
