More quotes by Andre Maurois
Style is the hallmark of a temperament stamped upon the material at hand.
Andre Maurois
Business is a combination of war and sport.
Andre Maurois
The clear and simple words of common usage are always better than those of erudition. The jargon of the philosophers not seldom conceals an absence of thought.
Andre Maurois
Old age is far more than white hair, wrinkles, the feeling that it is too late and the game finished, that the stage belongs to the rising generations. The true evil is not the weakening of the body, but the indifference of the soul.
Andre Maurois
A friend loves you for your intelligence, a mistress for your charm, but your family's love is unreasoning you were born into it and are of its flesh and blood. Nevertheless it can irritate you more than any group of people in the world.
Andre Maurois
Every ten years you should delete from your mind a few ideas that your experience has proven to be false.
Andre Maurois
The greedy search for money or success will almost always lead men into unhappiness. Why? Because that kind of life makes them depend upon things outside themselves.
Andre Maurois
The longer the road to love, the keener is the pleasure...
Andre Maurois
To desire to be perpetually in the society of a pretty woman until the end of one's days, is as if, because one likes good wine, one wished always to have one's mouth full of it.
Andre Maurois
It is better to teach a few things perfectly than many things indifferently...
Andre Maurois
For intelligent people, action often means escape from thought, but it is a reasonable and a wise escape.
Andre Maurois
In a discussion, the difficulty lies, not in being able to defend your opinion, but to know it.
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
Artificial inflation of stocks must be considered a crime as serious as counterfeiting, which it closely resembles.
Andre Maurois
Few are they who have never had a chance to achieve happiness- and fewer those who have taken that chance.
Andre Maurois
A great man's manias must be respected, because the time required to combat them is too precious to waste.
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
We can talk frankly about our defects only to those who recognise our qualities.
Andre Maurois
Novelty, the most potent of all attractions, is also the most perishable.
Andre Maurois
Modesty and unselfishness - these are the virtues which men praise - and pass by.
Andre Maurois
