Andre Maurois

Andre Maurois
We appreciate frankness from those who like us. Frankness from others is called insolence.
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
Growing old is no more than a bad habit which a busy person has no time to form.
Andre Maurois
