More quotes by Andre Maurois
Everything that is in agreement with our personal desires seems true everything that is not puts us in a rage.
Andre Maurois
The difficult part in an argument is not to defend one's opinion but rather to know it.
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
Novelty, the most potent of all attractions, is also the most perishable.
Andre Maurois
The really great novel tends to be the exact negative of its author's life.
Andre Maurois
A great biography should, like the close of a great drama, leave behind it a feeling of serenity. We collect into a small bunch the flowers, the few flowers, which brought sweetness into a life, and present it as an offering to an accomplished destiny. It is the dying refrain of a completed song, the final verse of a finished poem.
Andre Maurois
We owe to the Middle Ages the two worst inventions of humanity - romantic love and gunpowder.
Andre Maurois
Marriage makes a man more vulnerable by doubling the expanse of sail exposed to the tempests of social life.
Andre Maurois
To reason with poorly chosen words is like using a pair of scales with inaccurate weights.
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
Every ten years you should delete from your mind a few ideas that your experience has proven to be false.
Andre Maurois
We can talk frankly about our defects only to those who recognise our qualities.
Andre Maurois
The art of reading is in great part that of acquiring a better understanding of life from one's encounter with it in a book.
Andre Maurois
You don't love a man for what he says, but love what he says because you love him.
Andre Maurois
We console ourselves with several friends for not having found one real one.
Andre Maurois
We appreciate frankness from those who like us. Frankness from others is called insolence.
Andre Maurois
No one can be profoundly original who does not avoid eccentricity.
Andre Maurois
Without a family, man, alone in the world, trembles with the cold.
Andre Maurois
Conversation would be vastly improved by the constant use of four simple words: I do not know.
Andre Maurois
An unsatisfied woman requires luxury, but a woman who is in love with a man will lie on a board.
Andre Maurois
