More quotes by Andre Maurois
Old age diminishes our strength it takes away our pleasures one after the other it withers the soul as well as the body it renders adventure and friendship difficult and finally it is shadowed by thoughts of death.
Andre Maurois
Style is the outcome of constraint.
Andre Maurois
It is restful to leave one's home not because traveling does not entail varied and difficult daily actions, but because it removes our responsibilities.
Andre Maurois
There are certain persons for whom pure Truth is a poison.
Andre Maurois
Few are they who have never had a chance to achieve happiness- and fewer those who have taken that chance.
Andre Maurois
Almost all great writers have as their motif, more or less disguised, the passage from childhood to maturity, the clash between the thrill of expectation and the disillusioning knowledge of truth. 'Lost Illusion' is the undisclosed title of every novel.
Andre Maurois
Inspiration in matters of taste will not come twice.
Andre Maurois
Every ten years you should delete from your mind a few ideas that your experience has proven to be false.
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
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
Above all things, never be afraid. The enemy who forces you to retreat is himself afraid of you at that very moment.
Andre Maurois
Experience is valuable only when it has brought suffering and when the suffering has left its mark upon both body and mind.
Andre Maurois
Information is not culture. In the mind of a truly educated person, facts are organized, and they make up a living world in the image of the world of reality.
Andre Maurois
Advice is always a confession.
Andre Maurois
Medicine is a very old joke, but it still goes on.
Andre Maurois
I knew a man who had been virtually drowned and then revived. He said that his death had not been painful.
Andre Maurois
People are discontent men are troubled and the literature is excellent.
Andre Maurois
Memory is a great artist. For every man and for every woman it makes the recollection of his or her life a work of art and an unfaithful record.
Andre Maurois
A gentleman is never in a hurry.
Andre Maurois
Either the soul is immortal and we shall not die, or it perishes with the flesh and we shall not know that we are dead. Live, then, as if you were eternal.
Andre Maurois
