More quotes by Alexandre Dumas
In business, sir, one has no friends, only correspondents.
Alexandre Dumas
It is almost as difficult to keep a first class person in a fourth class job, as it is to keep a fourth class person in a first class job.
Alexandre Dumas
I am strong against everything, except against the death of those I love. He who dies gains he who sees others die loses.
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
I came to Paris with four écus in my pocket, and I’d have fought with anybody who told me I was in no condition to buy the Louvre.
Alexandre Dumas
...does that not tell you that grief is like life and that there is always somethings unknown beyond it?
Alexandre Dumas
Ah, said the jailer, do not always brood over what is impossible, or you will be mad in a fortnight.
Alexandre Dumas
Hatred is blind rage carries you away and he who pours out vengeance runs the risk of tasting a bitter draught.
Alexandre Dumas
For in those tacit understandings which maintain the bond of family union, the mother is really the mistress of her daughter only upon the condition of continually presenting herself to her as a model of wisdom and type of perfection.
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
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
How is it that little children are so intelligent and men so stupid? It must be education that does it.
Alexandre Dumas
There are two ways of seeing: with the body and with the soul. The body's sight can sometimes forget, but the soul remembers forever.
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
Capricious and unfaithful, the king wished to be called Louis the Just and Louis the Chaste. Posterity will find a difficulty in understanding this character, which history explains only by facts and never by reason.
Alexandre Dumas
I am not proud, but I am happy and happiness blinds, I think, more than pride.
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
The friends we have lost do not repose under the ground...they are buried deep in our hearts. It has been thus ordained that they may always accompany us.
Alexandre Dumas
Happiness is egotistical.
Alexandre Dumas
Never fear quarrels, but seek hazardous adventures.
Alexandre Dumas
