Additional quotes by William Somerset Maugham

Marriage is a very good thing, but I think it's a mistake to make a habit out of it.

I daresay one profits more by the mistakes one makes off one's own bat than by doing the right thing on somebody's else advice.

The man I am writing about is not famous. It may be that he never will be. It may be that when his life at last comes to an end he will leave no more trace of his sojourn on earth than a stone thrown into a river leaves on the surface of the water.
