Andre Maurois
Image
Smile, for everyone lacks self-confidence and more than any other one thing a smile reassures them.
Andre Maurois
Image
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
Image
A man cannot free himself from the past more easily than he can from his own body.
Andre Maurois
Image
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
