More quotes by Andre Maurois
To feminine eyes a man's prestige, or his fame, envelops him in a luminous haze which obscures his faults. The triumphs of an aviator, an actor, a football player, an orator are often responsible for the beginning of a love affair.
Andre Maurois
Everything that is in agreement with our personal desires seems true everything that is not puts us in a rage.
Andre Maurois
Every ten years you should delete from your mind a few ideas that your experience has proven to be false.
Andre Maurois
For intelligent people, action often means escape from thought, but it is a reasonable and a wise escape.
Andre Maurois
An old man, having retired from active life, regains the gaity and irresponsibility of childhood. He is ready to play, he cannot run with his son, but he can totter with his grandson. Our first and last steps have the same rhythm.
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
Modesty and unselfishness - these are the virtues which men praise - and pass by.
Andre Maurois
It is restful to leave one's home not because traveling does not entail varied and difficult daily actions, but because it removes our responsibilities.
Andre Maurois
Experience is valuable only when it has brought suffering and when the suffering has left its mark upon both body and mind.
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 man cannot free himself from the past more easily than he can from his own body.
Andre Maurois
Art is an effort to create, beside the real world, a more humane world.
Andre Maurois
I knew a man who had been virtually drowned and then revived. He said that his death had not been painful.
Andre Maurois
People are discontent men are troubled and the literature is excellent.
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
Happiness is never there to stay [...] Happiness is merely a respite offered by inquietude.
Andre Maurois
Growing old is no more than a bad habit which a busy person has no time to form.
Andre Maurois
To be witty is not enough. One must possess sufficient wit to avoid having too much of it.
Andre Maurois
The longer the road to love, the keener is the pleasure...
Andre Maurois
Without a family, man, alone in the world, trembles with the cold.
Andre Maurois
