More quotes by Alexandre Dumas
Upon my word, said Dantes, you make me shudder. Is the world filled with tigers and crocodiles? Yes and remember that two legged tigers and crocodiles are more dangerous than the others.
Alexandre Dumas
God orders a man to do all he can to save his life.
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
A rogue does not laugh in the same way that an honest man does a hypocrite does not shed the tears of a man of good faith. All falsehood is a mask and however well made the mask may be, with a little attention we may always succeed in distinguishing it from the true face.
Alexandre Dumas
On what slender threads do life and fortune hang.
Alexandre Dumas
How did I escape? With difficulty. How did I plan this moment? With pleasure!
Alexandre Dumas
I hate this life of the fashionable world, always ordered, measured, ruled, like our music-paper. What I have always wished for, desired, and coveted, is the life of an artist, free and independent, relying only on my own resources, and accountable only to myself.
Alexandre Dumas
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
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
So rapid is the flight of our dreams upon the wings of imagination.
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
A weakened mind always sees everything through a black veil. The soul makes its own horizons your soul is dark, which is why you see such a cloudy sky.
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
In business, sir, one has no friends, only correspondents.
Alexandre Dumas
So heavy is the chain of wedlock that it needs two to carry it, and sometimes three.
Alexandre Dumas
...for, however all other feelings may be withered in a woman's nature, there is always one bright smiling spot in the maternal breast, and that is where a dearly-beloved child is concerned.
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
Haste is a poor counselor
Alexandre Dumas
Your life story is a novel and people, though they love novels wound between two yellow paper covers, are oddly suspicious of those which come to them in living vellum.
Alexandre Dumas
The merit of all things lies in their difficulty.
Alexandre Dumas
