More quotes by Andre Maurois
We don't love a woman for what she says, we like what she says because we love her.
Andre Maurois
There are certain persons for whom pure Truth is a poison.
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
Time is a factor in all action. An imperfect scheme put into action at the proper time is better than a perfect one accomplished too late.
Andre Maurois
Medicine is a very old joke, but it still goes on.
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
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.
Andre Maurois

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
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
Every ten years you should delete from your mind a few ideas that your experience has proven to be false.
Andre Maurois
In literature as in love, we are astonished at what is chosen by others.
Andre Maurois
Above all things, never be afraid. The enemy who forces you to retreat is himself afraid of you at that very moment.
Andre Maurois
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
Advice is always a confession.
Andre Maurois
If you create a character, you create a destiny.
