More quotes by Andre Maurois
Happiness flourishes where there is happiness...
Andre Maurois
An old man, having retired from active life, regains the gaity and irresponsibility of childhood. He is ready to play, he cannot run with his son, but he can totter with his grandson. Our first and last steps have the same rhythm.
Andre Maurois
A true woman loves a strong man because she knows his weaknesses. She protects as much as she is protected.
Andre Maurois

Andre Maurois
Two human beings anchored to one another are like two ships shaken by waves their carcases collide with one another and creak.
Andre Maurois
A man cannot free himself from the past more easily than he can from his own body.
Andre Maurois
To be witty is not enough. One must possess sufficient wit to avoid having too much of it.
Andre Maurois
Business is a combination of war and sport.
Andre Maurois
British conversation is like a game of cricket or a boxing match personal allusions are forbidden like hitting below the belt, and anyone who loses his temper is disqualified.

Lost Illusion is the undisclosed title of every novel.
Andre Maurois
