Additional quotes by William Somerset Maugham

I have an idea that the only thing which makes it possible to regard this world we live in without disgust is the beauty which now and then men create out of the chaos. The pictures they paint, the music they compose, the books they write, and the lives they lead. Of all these the richest in beauty is the beautiful life. That is the perfect work of art.

There is only one way to win hearts and that is to make oneself like unto those of whom one would be loved.

Said in 1921. Quoted in The Guinness Dictionary of Sports Quotations (1990), p. 75
