Pain, thou art not an evil
Alexandre Dumas

He's right: They have to put madmen with madmen.
Alexandre Dumas
Image

Alexandre Dumas
Image

Alexandre Dumas
Image
Besides we are men, and after all it is our business to risk our lives.
Alexandre Dumas

In every country where independence has taken the place of liberty, the first desire of a manly heart is to possess a weapon which at once renders him capable of defence or attack, and, by rendering its owner fearsome, makes him feared.
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
True love always makes a man better, no matter who the woman is that inspires it.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
Truly generous men are always ready to become sympathetic when their enemy’s misfortune surpasses the limits of their hatred.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
I'm sure you're very nice, but you'd be even nicer if you went away.

One's work may be finished someday, but one's education never.

D’Artagnan: Why is Athos sitting by himself? Aramis: He takes his drinking very seriously. Not to worry, he’ll be his usual charming self by morning.
