Modesty and unselfishness - these are the virtues which men praise - and pass by.
Andre Maurois
Image
Often we allow ourselves to be upset by small things we should despise and forget. We lose many irreplaceable hours brooding over grievances that, in a year's time, will be forgotten by us and by everybody. No, let us devote our life to worthwhile actions and feelings, to great thoughts, real affections and enduring undertakings.

When you become used to never being alone, you may consider yourself Americanised
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
Image
Business is a combination of war and sport.
Andre Maurois
Image
A marriage without conflicts is almost as inconceivable as a nation without crises.
Andre Maurois
Image
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
Image
Above all things, never be afraid. The enemy who forces you to retreat is himself afraid of you at that very moment.
Andre Maurois
Image
The need to express one's self in writing springs from a maladjustment of life, or from an inner conflict which the adolescent (or the grown man) cannot resolve in action.
Andre Maurois
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Self-pity comes so naturally to all of us.
Andre Maurois
Image
There are deserts in every life, and the desert must be depicted if we are to give a fair and complete idea of the country.
