Happiness flourishes where there is happiness...
Andre Maurois

Andre Maurois
Only passions can raise a man above the level of the animal.
Andre Maurois

Andre Maurois
The clear and simple words of common usage are always better than those of erudition. The jargon of the philosophers not seldom conceals an absence of thought.
Andre Maurois
A great statesman, like a good housekeeper, knows that cleaning has to be done every morning.
Andre Maurois
When you become used to never being alone, you may consider yourself Americanised
