You who are in power have only the means that money produces — we who are in expectation, have those which devotion prompts.
Alexandre Dumas
We are always in a hurry to be happy... for when we have suffered a long time, we have great difficulty in believing in good fortune.
Alexandre Dumas
If you wish to discover the guilty person, first find out to whom the crime might be useful.
Alexandre Dumas
I have always had more dread of a pen, a bottle of ink, and a sheet of paper than of a sword or pistol.
Alexandre Dumas
You scholars, you're in communication with the devil.
