Alexandre Dumas

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
Great is truth. Fire cannot burn it nor water drown it.
Alexandre Dumas
in prosperity prayers seem but a mere medley of words, until misfortune comes and the unhappy sufferer first understands the meaning of the sublime language in which he invokes the pity of heaven!
Alexandre Dumas
I know what happiness and what despair are, and I never make a jest of such feelings. Take it, then, but in exchange —
Alexandre Dumas
All for one and one for all, united we stand divided we fall.
Alexandre Dumas
So much the worse for those who fear wine, for it is because they have some bad thoughts which they are afraid the liquor will extract from their hearts.
Alexandre Dumas
God orders a man to do all he can to save his life.
Alexandre Dumas
Youth is a blossom whose fruit is love happy is he who plucks it after watching it slowly ripen.
Alexandre Dumas
It is only the dead who do not return.
Alexandre Dumas
