Alexandre Dumas
The difference between treason and patriotism is only a matter of dates.
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
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
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
All for one, one for all, that is our device.
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
