More quotes by Andre Maurois
If, in New York, you arrive late for an appointment, say, I took a taxi.
Andre Maurois
A happy marriage is a long conversation which always seems too short.
Andre Maurois
One has very little influence upon one's children. Their characters are what they are and one can do nothing to change them.
Andre Maurois
We don't go to school to learn, but to be soaked in the prejudices of our class, without which we should be useless and unhappy.
Andre Maurois
The most important quality in a leader is that of being acknowledged as such. All leaders whose fitness is questioned are clearly lacking in force.
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
It is not events and the things one sees and enjoys that produce happiness, but a state of mind which can endow events with its own quality, and we must hope for the duration of this state rather than the recurrence of pleasurable events.
Andre Maurois

Andre Maurois
Inspiration in matters of taste will not come twice.
Andre Maurois
The difficult part in an argument is not to defend one's opinion but rather to know it.

Andre Maurois
Marriage makes a man more vulnerable by doubling the expanse of sail exposed to the tempests of social life.
Andre Maurois
We appreciate frankness from those who like us. Frankness from others is called insolence.
Andre Maurois
A great man's manias must be respected, because the time required to combat them is too precious to waste.
Andre Maurois
Among the idle rich, boredom is one of the most common causes of unhappiness. People who have difficulty in earning their living may suffer greatly, but they are not bored. Wealthy men and women become bored when they depend upon the theater for their enjoyment instead of making their own lives interesting.
Andre Maurois
We console ourselves with several friends for not having found one real one.
Andre Maurois
The art of growing old is the art of being regarded by the oncoming generations as a support and not as a stumbling-block...
Andre Maurois
Self-pity comes so naturally to all of us.
Andre Maurois
In literature as in love, we are astonished at what is chosen by others.
Andre Maurois
The need to express one's self in writing springs from a maladjustment of life, or from an inner conflict which the adolescent (or the grown man) cannot resolve in action.
Andre Maurois
