Athos liked every one to exercise his own free-will. He never gave his advice before it was demanded and even then it must be demanded twice.

It is almost as difficult to keep a first class person in a fourth class job, as it is to keep a fourth class person in a first class job.
Alexandre Dumas

Mastery of language affords one remarkable opportunities.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
Happiness is like those palaces in fairy tales whose gates are guarded by dragons: we must fight in order to conquer it.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
Darling, replied Valentine, has not the count just told us that all human wisdom was contained in these two words,- Wait and hope?
Alexandre Dumas
Image
Capricious and unfaithful, the king wished to be called Louis the Just and Louis the Chaste. Posterity will find a difficulty in understanding this character, which history explains only by facts and never by reason.

The difference between treason and patriotism is only a matter of dates.

D'Artagnan, my friend, thou art brave, thou art prudent, thou hast excellent qualities, but- women will destroy thee! -D'Artagnan
