More quotes by Andre Maurois
There are very few really brilliant men who have not had at least one madman among their ancestors.
Andre Maurois
People are discontent men are troubled and the literature is excellent.
Andre Maurois
What men call friendship is only social intercourse, an exchange of favours and good offices it comes down to a commercial dealing in which self-esteem always expects to profit.
Andre Maurois
Few are they who have never had a chance to achieve happiness- and fewer those who have taken that chance.
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
If you value a man's regard, strive with him. As to liking, you like your newspaper - and despise it.
Andre Maurois
Self-pity comes so naturally to all of us. The most solid happiness can be shaken by the compassion of a fool.
Andre Maurois
A happy marriage is a long conversation which always seems too short.
Andre Maurois
Men fear silence as they fear solitude, because both give them a glimpse of the terror of life's nothingness.
Andre Maurois
The really great novel tends to be the exact negative of its author's life.
Andre Maurois
To reason with poorly chosen words is like using a pair of scales with inaccurate weights.
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
It is often said that in prosperity we have many friends, but that we are usually neglected when things go badly. I disagree. Not only do malicious people flock about us in order to witness our ruin, but other unfortunates as well, who have been kept away by our happiness, and now feel close to us on account of our troubles.
Andre Maurois
If, in New York, you arrive late for an appointment, say, I took a taxi.
Andre Maurois
Sincerity is glass, discretion is diamond.
Andre Maurois
Live as if you were eternal.
Andre Maurois
A great man's manias must be respected, because the time required to combat them is too precious to waste.
Andre Maurois
You don't love a man for what he says, but love what he says because you love him.
Andre Maurois
For intelligent people, action often means escape from thought, but it is a reasonable and a wise escape.
Andre Maurois
People are what you make them. A scornful look turns into a complete fool a man of average intelligence. A contemptuous indifference turns into an enemy a woman who, well treated, might have been an angel.
Andre Maurois
