More quotes by Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas
How is it that little children are so intelligent and men so stupid? It must be education that does it.
Alexandre Dumas
Be happy, noble heart, be blessed for all the good thou hast done and wilt do hereafter, and let my gratitude remain in obscurity like your good deeds.
Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas
If you wish to discover the guilty person, first find out to whom the crime might be useful.
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
The hungry men were seen, followed by their valets, roaming the quais and guards' quarters gleaning from their outside friends all the dinners they could find for, according to Aramis, in prosperity one should sow meals right and left, in order to harvest some in adversity.
Alexandre Dumas
In love, writing is dangerous, not to mention pointless.
Alexandre Dumas
It is almost as difficult to keep a first class person in a fourth class job, as it is to keep a fourth class person in a first class job.
Alexandre Dumas
To save a man and thereby to spare a father's agony and a mother's feelings is not to do a noble deed, it is but an act of humanity.
Alexandre Dumas
Only a man who has felt ultimate despair is capable of feeling ultimate bliss.
Alexandre Dumas
For all evils there are two remedies - time and silence.
Alexandre Dumas
We are always in a hurry to be happy... for when we have suffered a long time, we have great difficulty in believing in good fortune.
Alexandre Dumas
Without reflecting that this is the only moment in which you can study character, said the count on the steps of the scaffold death tears off the mask that has been worn through life, and the real visage is disclosed.
Alexandre Dumas
I love the life you've always made so sweet for me and I'd regret it if I had to die.' 'Do you mean to say that if I left you---' 'I'd die, yes.' 'Then you love me?
Alexandre Dumas
Happiness is egotistical.
