I am not proud, but I am happy and happiness blinds, I think, more than pride.
Alexandre Dumas
No, I slept as I always do when I am bored and have not the courage to amuse myself, or when I am hungry and have not the desire to eat.--The Count of Monte Cristo
Alexandre Dumas

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

Alexandre Dumas
Those born to wealth, and who have the means of gratifying every wish, know not what is the real happiness of life, just as those who have been tossed on the stormy waters of the ocean on a few frail planks can alone realize the blessings of fair weather.
Alexandre Dumas
If God were suddenly condemned to live the life which He has inflicted upon men, He would kill Himself.
Alexandre Dumas
There is no friendship that cares about an overheard secret.
Alexandre Dumas
God is always the last resource.
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
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
Oh! The good times when we were so unhappy.
Alexandre Dumas
