I am a count, not a saint.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
His fair landlady was in despair. She would most willingly have made M. d'Artagnan her husband--such a handsome man, and such a fierce mustache!
Alexandre Dumas
Image
As a general rule...people ask for advice only in order not to follow it or if they do follow it, in order to have someone to blame for giving it.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
Nothing makes time pass or shortens the way like a thought that absorbs in itself all the faculties of the one who is thinking. External existence is then like a sleep of which this thought is the dream. Under its influence, time has no more measure, space has no more distance.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
He's right: They have to put madmen with madmen.
Alexandre Dumas

D'Artagnan, my friend, thou art brave, thou art prudent, thou hast excellent qualities, but- women will destroy thee! -D'Artagnan
Alexandre Dumas
Image
A person who doubts himself is like a man who would enlist in the ranks of his enemies and bear arms against himself.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
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
Image
Edmond Dantes: I don't believe in God. Abbe Faria: That doesn't matter, He believes in you.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
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
Image
I have no will, unless it be the will never to decide. I have been so overwhelmed by the many storms that have broken over my head, that I am become passive in the hands of the Almighty, like a sparrow in the talons of an eagle. I live, because it is not ordained for me to die.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
Your bitter memories still have time to turn into sweet ones.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
God orders a man to do all he can to save his life.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
It was like the eve of a battle the hearts beat, the eyes laughed, and they felft that the life they were perhaps going to lose, was after all, a good thing.
Alexandre Dumas
