More quotes by Andre Maurois
Live as if you were eternal.
Andre Maurois
The minds of different generations are as impenetrable one by the other as are the monads of Leibniz.
Andre Maurois
It is better to teach a few things perfectly than many things indifferently...
Andre Maurois
In a discussion, the difficulty lies, not in being able to defend your opinion, but to know it.
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
The reading of a fine book is an uninterrupted dialogue in which the book speaks and our soul replies.
Andre Maurois
If you create a character, you create a destiny.
Andre Maurois
Artificial inflation of stocks must be considered a crime as serious as counterfeiting, which it closely resembles.
Andre Maurois
To reason with poorly chosen words is like using a pair of scales with inaccurate weights.
Andre Maurois
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.
Andre Maurois
The effectiveness of work increases according to geometric progression if there are no interruptions.
Andre Maurois
The difficult part in an argument is not to defend one's opinion but rather to know it.
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
Either the soul is immortal and we shall not die, or it perishes with the flesh and we shall not know that we are dead. Live, then, as if you were eternal.
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
You don't love a man for what he says, but love what he says because you love him.
Andre Maurois
Inspiration in matters of taste will not come twice.
Andre Maurois
The really great novel tends to be the exact negative of its author's life.
Andre Maurois
Memory is a great artist. For every man and for every woman it makes the recollection of his or her life a work of art and an unfaithful record.
Andre Maurois
Men and women are not born inconstant: they are made so by their early amorous experiences.
Andre Maurois
