A happy marriage is a long conversation which always seems too short.
Andre Maurois
A marriage without conflicts is almost as inconceivable as a nation without crises.
Andre Maurois
A successful marriage is an edifice that must be rebuilt every day.
Andre Maurois
An artist must be a reactionary. He has to stand out against the tenor of the age and not go flopping along.
Andre Maurois
Business is a combination of war and sport.
Andre Maurois

Andre Maurois
Growing old is no more than a bad habit which a busy person has no time to form.
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
If you create an act, you create a habit. If you create a habit, you create a character. If you create a character, you create a destiny.
Andre Maurois

Andre Maurois
In literature as in love, we are astonished at what is chosen by others.
Andre Maurois

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

Andre Maurois
Modesty and unselfishness - these are the virtues which men praise - and pass by.
Andre Maurois

Andre Maurois
Old age is far more than white hair, wrinkles, the feeling that it is too late and the game finished, that the stage belongs to the rising generations. The true evil is not the weakening of the body, but the indifference of the soul.
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
Self-pity comes so naturally to all of us. The most solid happiness can be shaken by the compassion of a fool.
Andre Maurois
Smile, for everyone lacks self-confidence and more than any other one thing a smile reassures them.
