More quotes by 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
An old man, having retired from active life, regains the gaity and irresponsibility of childhood. He is ready to play, he cannot run with his son, but he can totter with his grandson. Our first and last steps have the same rhythm.
Andre Maurois
Medicine is a very old joke, but it still goes on.
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
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

Andre Maurois
The longer the road to love, the keener is the pleasure...
Andre Maurois
A great biography should, like the close of a great drama, leave behind it a feeling of serenity. We collect into a small bunch the flowers, the few flowers, which brought sweetness into a life, and present it as an offering to an accomplished destiny. It is the dying refrain of a completed song, the final verse of a finished poem.
Andre Maurois
We don't love a woman for what she says, we like what she says because we love her.
Andre Maurois
The reading of a fine book is an uninterrupted dialogue in which the book speaks and our soul replies.
Andre Maurois
A friend loves you for your intelligence, a mistress for your charm, but your family's love is unreasoning you were born into it and are of its flesh and blood. Nevertheless it can irritate you more than any group of people in the world.
Andre Maurois
In a discussion, the difficulty lies, not in being able to defend your opinion, but to know it.
Andre Maurois
The art of growing old is the art of being regarded by the oncoming generations as a support and not as a stumbling-block...
Andre Maurois
Memory is a great artist. For every man and for every woman it makes the recollection of his or her life a work of art and an unfaithful record.
Andre Maurois
The really great novel tends to be the exact negative of its author's life.
Andre Maurois
The most important quality in a leader is that of being acknowledged as such. All leaders whose fitness is questioned are clearly lacking in force.
Andre Maurois
