More quotes by Andre Maurois
Modesty and unselfishness - these are the virtues which men praise - and pass by.
Andre Maurois

Andre Maurois

Andre Maurois

Andre Maurois

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
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
Learning is nothing without cultivated manners, but when the two are combined in a woman, you have one of the most exquisite products of civilization.
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
We can talk frankly about our defects only to those who recognise our qualities.
Andre Maurois
Memory is a great artist. For every man and for every woman it makes the recollection of his or her life a work of art and an unfaithful record.
Andre Maurois
