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

Alexandre Dumas
So much the worse for those who fear wine, for it is because they have some bad thoughts which they are afraid the liquor will extract from their hearts.
Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas
I am hungry, feed me I am bored, amuse me.
Alexandre Dumas

In general, people only ask for advice, he said that they may not follow it or if they should follow it that they may have somebody to blame for having given it.
Alexandre Dumas
There are people who are willing to suffer and swallow their tears at leisure, and God will no doubt reward them in heaven for their resignation but those who have the will to struggle strike back at fate in retaliation for the blows they receive.
Alexandre Dumas
We’ll go where the air is pure, where all sounds are soothing, where, no matter how proud one may be, one feels humble and finds oneself small- in short, we’ll go to the sea. I love the sea as one loves a mistress and I long for her when I haven’t seen her for some time
Alexandre Dumas
Happiness is egotistical.
Alexandre Dumas
Love is the most selfish of all the passions.
Alexandre Dumas
Ah, lips that say one thing, while the heart thinks another.
Alexandre Dumas
Be happy, noble heart, be blessed for all the good thou hast done and wilt do hereafter, and let my gratitude remain in obscurity like your good deeds.
Alexandre Dumas
Haste is a poor counselor
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
Business? It's quite simple it's other people's money.
Alexandre Dumas
No, I slept as I always do when I am bored and have not the courage to amuse myself, or when I am hungry and have not the desire to eat.--The Count of Monte Cristo
Alexandre Dumas
