More quotes by Alexandre Dumas
He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness.
Alexandre Dumas
To save a man and thereby to spare a father's agony and a mother's feelings is not to do a noble deed, it is but an act of humanity.
Alexandre Dumas
I prefer the wicked rather than the foolish. The wicked sometimes rest.
Alexandre Dumas
There is neither happiness nor misery in the world there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness.
Alexandre Dumas
God orders a man to do all he can to save his life.
Alexandre Dumas
Nothing makes time pass or shortens the way like a thought that absorbs in itself all the faculties of the one who is thinking. External existence is then like a sleep of which this thought is the dream. Under its influence, time has no more measure, space has no more distance.
Alexandre Dumas
......When one loves, one is only too ready to believe one's love returned.
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
I do not often laugh, sir, as you may perceive by the air of my countenance but nevertheless, I retain the privilege of laughing when I please.
Alexandre Dumas
But Valentine, why despair, why always paint the future in such sombre hues? Maximilien asked. Because, my friend, I judge it by the past.
Alexandre Dumas
Fool that I am, said he,that I did not tear out my heart the day I resolved to revenge myself.
Alexandre Dumas
Moral wounds have this peculiarity - they may be hidden, but they never close always painful, always ready to bleed when touched, they remain fresh and open in the heart.
Alexandre Dumas
In politics, my dear fellow, you know, as well as I do, there are no men, but ideas — no feelings, but interests in politics we do not kill a man, we only remove an obstacle, that is all.
Alexandre Dumas
Besides we are men, and after all it is our business to risk our lives.
Alexandre Dumas
One always hurries towards happiness, Monsieur Danglars, because when one has suffered much, one is at pains to believe in it.
Alexandre Dumas
Often we pass beside happiness without seeing it, without looking at it, or even if we have seen and looked at it, without recognizing it.
Alexandre Dumas
The difference between treason and patriotism is only a matter of dates.
Alexandre Dumas
How did I escape? With difficulty. How did I plan this moment? With pleasure!
Alexandre Dumas
...does that not tell you that grief is like life and that there is always somethings unknown beyond it?
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
