More quotes by Andre Maurois
You don't love a man for what he says, but love what he says because you love him.
Andre Maurois
He who has found a good wife has found great happiness, but a quarrelsome woman is like a roof that lets in the rain.
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
People are discontent men are troubled and the literature is excellent.
Andre Maurois
Without a family, man, alone in the world, trembles with the cold.
Andre Maurois
A marriage without conflicts is almost as inconceivable as a nation without crises.
Andre Maurois

Andre Maurois

Andre Maurois

Andre Maurois
No one can be profoundly original who does not avoid eccentricity.
Andre Maurois
Genius consists of equal parts of natural aptitude and hard work.
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
The really great novel tends to be the exact negative of its author's life.
Andre Maurois
Business is a combination of war and sport.
Andre Maurois
Growing old is no more than a bad habit which a busy person has no time to form.
Andre Maurois
