More quotes by Andre Maurois
Self-pity comes so naturally to all of us.
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 don't love a woman for what she says, we like what she says because we love her.
Andre Maurois
A gentleman is never in a hurry.
Andre Maurois
Modesty and unselfishness - these are the virtues which men praise - and pass by.
Andre Maurois

Andre Maurois
Sincerity is glass, discretion is diamond.
Andre Maurois

Andre Maurois
In a discussion, the difficulty lies, not in being able to defend your opinion, but to know it.
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
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
We appreciate frankness from those who like us. Frankness from others is called insolence.
Andre Maurois
Advice is always a confession.
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
