Alexandre Dumas
Never fear quarrels, but seek hazardous adventures.
Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas
And now, farewell to kindness, humanity and gratitude... I have substituted myself for Providence in rewarding the good may the God of vengeance now yield me His place to punish the wicked.
Alexandre Dumas
We are never quits with those who oblige us, was Dantes' reply for when we do not owe them money, we owe them gratitude.
Alexandre Dumas
in prosperity prayers seem but a mere medley of words, until misfortune comes and the unhappy sufferer first understands the meaning of the sublime language in which he invokes the pity of heaven!
Alexandre Dumas
Every individual, from the highest to the lowest degree, has his place in the ladder of social life, and around him swirls a little world of interests, composed of stormy passions and conflicting atoms
Alexandre Dumas
A weakened mind always sees everything through a black veil. The soul makes its own horizons your soul is dark, which is why you see such a cloudy sky.
