More quotes by 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
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
Every ten years you should delete from your mind a few ideas that your experience has proven to be false.
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
Only passions can raise a man above the level of the animal.
Andre Maurois
A gentleman is never in a hurry.
Andre Maurois
Smile, for everyone lacks self-confidence and more than any other one thing a smile reassures them.
Andre Maurois
In a discussion, the difficulty lies, not in being able to defend your opinion, but 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
Style is the hallmark of a temperament stamped upon the material at hand.
Andre Maurois
A great statesman, like a good housekeeper, knows that cleaning has to be done every morning.
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
Self-pity comes so naturally to all of us. The most solid happiness can be shaken by the compassion of a fool.
Andre Maurois
Medicine is a very old joke, but it still goes on.
Andre Maurois
There are deserts in every life, and the desert must be depicted if we are to give a fair and complete idea of the country.
Andre Maurois
If men could regard the events of their own lives with more open minds, they would frequently discover that they did not really desire the things they failed to obtain.
Andre Maurois
Men and women are not born inconstant: they are made so by their early amorous experiences.
Andre Maurois
For intelligent people, action often means escape from thought, but it is a reasonable and a wise escape.
Andre Maurois
Men fear silence as they fear solitude, because both give them a glimpse of the terror of life's nothingness.
Andre Maurois
Learning is nothing without cultivated manners, but when the two are combined in a woman, you have one of the most exquisite products of civilization.
Andre Maurois
