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
In literature as in love, we are astonished at what is chosen by others.
Andre Maurois
The first recipe for happiness is: avoid too lengthy meditation on the past.
Andre Maurois
Above all things, never be afraid. The enemy who forces you to retreat is himself afraid of you at that very moment.
Andre Maurois
The effectiveness of work increases according to geometric progression if there are no interruptions.
