More quotes by Alexandre Dumas
Be kind. Aim for my heart.
Alexandre Dumas
What I’ve loved most after you, is myself: that is, my dignity and that strength which made me superior to other men. That Strength was my life. You’ve broken it with a word, so I must die.
Alexandre Dumas
In every country where independence has taken the place of liberty, the first desire of a manly heart is to possess a weapon which at once renders him capable of defence or attack, and, by rendering its owner fearsome, makes him feared.
Alexandre Dumas
Now I'd like someone to tell me there is no drama in real life!
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
It is only the dead who do not return.
Alexandre Dumas
I came to Paris with four écus in my pocket, and I’d have fought with anybody who told me I was in no condition to buy the Louvre.
Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas
The merit of all things lies in their difficulty.
Alexandre Dumas
All for one and one for all, united we stand divided we fall.
Alexandre Dumas
I hate this life of the fashionable world, always ordered, measured, ruled, like our music-paper. What I have always wished for, desired, and coveted, is the life of an artist, free and independent, relying only on my own resources, and accountable only to myself.
Alexandre Dumas
Time, dear friend, time brings round opportunity opportunity is the martingale of man. The more we have ventured the more we gain, when we know how to wait.
Alexandre Dumas
How is it that little children are so intelligent and men so stupid? It must be education that does it.
Alexandre Dumas
Business? It's quite simple it's other people's money.
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
Hatred is blind rage carries you away and he who pours out vengeance runs the risk of tasting a bitter draught.
Alexandre Dumas
Edmond Dantes: I don't believe in God. Abbe Faria: That doesn't matter, He believes in you.
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
