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.

More quotes by 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
Among the idle rich, boredom is one of the most common causes of unhappiness. People who have difficulty in earning their living may suffer greatly, but they are not bored. Wealthy men and women become bored when they depend upon the theater for their enjoyment instead of making their own lives interesting.
Andre Maurois
A gentleman is never in a hurry.
Andre Maurois
It is better to teach a few things perfectly than many things indifferently...
Andre Maurois
People are discontent men are troubled and the literature is excellent.
Andre Maurois
If men could regard the events of their own lives with more open minds, they would frequently discover that they did not really desire the things they failed to obtain.
Andre Maurois
Happiness flourishes where there is happiness...
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
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
Growing old is no more than a bad habit which a busy person has no time to form.
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
Live as if you were eternal.
Andre Maurois
A happy marriage is a long conversation which always seems too short.
Andre Maurois
Happiness is never there to stay [...] Happiness is merely a respite offered by inquietude.
Andre Maurois
All of us, from time to time, need a plunge into freedom and novelty, after which routine and discipline will seem delightful by contrast.
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
Two human beings anchored to one another are like two ships shaken by waves their carcases collide with one another and creak.
Andre Maurois
Business is a combination of war and sport.
Andre Maurois
The effectiveness of work increases according to geometric progression if there are no interruptions.
Andre Maurois
The minds of different generations are as impenetrable one by the other as are the monads of Leibniz.
