Alexandre Dumas
God orders a man to do all he can to save his life.
Alexandre Dumas
God is always the last resource.
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
For the happy man prayer is only a jumble of words, until the day when sorrow comes to explain to him the sublime language by means of which he speaks to God.
Alexandre Dumas
The wretched and miserable should turn to their Saviour first, yet they do not hope in Him until all other hope is exhausted.
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
When a man resolves to avenge himself, he should first of all tear out the heart from his breast.
Alexandre Dumas
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.
Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas
