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
It is better to teach a few things perfectly than many things indifferently...
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
The art of reading is in great part that of acquiring a better understanding of life from one's encounter with it in a book.
