More quotes by Alexandre Dumas
So rapid is the flight of our dreams upon the wings of imagination.
Alexandre Dumas
It is the infirmity of our nature always to believe ourselves much more unhappy than those who groan by our sides!
Alexandre Dumas
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. 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
He's right: They have to put madmen with madmen.
Alexandre Dumas
Yet man will never be perfect until he learns to create and destroy he does know how to destroy, and that is half the battle.
Alexandre Dumas
Your bitter memories still have time to turn into sweet ones.
Alexandre Dumas
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
It is not the tree that forsakes the flower, but the flower that forsakes the tree.
Alexandre Dumas
Are there not some places where we seem to breathe sadness? — why, we cannot tell. It is a chain of recollections — an idea which carries you back to other times, to other places — which, very likely, have no connection with the present time and place.
Alexandre Dumas
God is full of mercy for everyone, as He has been towards you. He is a father before He is a judge.
Alexandre Dumas
Edmond Dantes: I don't believe in God. Abbe Faria: That doesn't matter, He believes in you.
Alexandre Dumas
All for one and one for all, united we stand divided we fall.
Alexandre Dumas
For there are two distinct sorts of ideas: Those that proceed from the head and those that emanate from the heart.
Alexandre Dumas
Wait and hope!
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
I'm sure you're very nice, but you'd be even nicer if you went away.
Alexandre Dumas
I am not proud, but I am happy and happiness blinds, I think, more than pride.
Alexandre Dumas
That is a dream also only he has remained asleep, while you have awakened and who knows which of you is the most fortunate?
Alexandre Dumas
Joy to hearts which have suffered long is like the dew on the ground after a long drought both the heart and the ground absorb that beneficent moisture falling on them, and nothing is outwardly apparant.
Alexandre Dumas
...know you not that you are my sun by day, and my star by night? By my faith! I was in deepest darkness till you appeared and illuminated all.
Alexandre Dumas
