More quotes by Andre Maurois
Marriage makes a man more vulnerable by doubling the expanse of sail exposed to the tempests of social life.
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
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
Modesty and unselfishness - these are the virtues which men praise - and pass by.
Andre Maurois
People are discontent men are troubled and the literature is excellent.
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
Inspiration in matters of taste will not come twice.
Andre Maurois
The longer the road to love, the keener is the pleasure...
Andre Maurois
Like a bird, when his cage is opened, stays on his perch, dazzled by freedom, the postponed traveler does not see that his cage, with its bars of anxiety, it is open.
Andre Maurois
Love born of anxiety resembles a thorn shaped so that efforts to pull it out of one's flesh merely cause it to penetrate more deeply therein.
Andre Maurois
A successful marriage is an edifice that must be rebuilt every day.
Andre Maurois
The difficult part in an argument is not to defend one's opinion but rather to know it.
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
Smile, for everyone lacks self-confidence and more than any other one thing a smile reassures them.
Andre Maurois
Sincerity is glass, discretion is diamond.
Andre Maurois
A great writer has a high respect for values. His essential function is to raise life to the dignity of thought, and this he does by giving it a shape.
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
It is better to teach a few things perfectly than many things indifferently...
Andre Maurois
A great statesman, like a good housekeeper, knows that cleaning has to be done every morning.
Andre Maurois
Happiness flourishes where there is happiness...
Andre Maurois
