More quotes by 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.

Andre Maurois
A great writer has a high respect for values. His essential function is to raise life to the dignity of thought, and this he does by giving it a shape.
Andre Maurois
Inspiration in matters of taste will not come twice.
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
