More quotes by Alexandre Dumas
God is always the last resource.
Alexandre Dumas
Every individual, from the highest to the lowest degree, has his place in the ladder of social life, and around him swirls a little world of interests, composed of stormy passions and conflicting atoms
Alexandre Dumas
Misfortune does not help us to believe.
Alexandre Dumas
Are there not some places where we seem to breathe sadness? — why, we cannot tell. It is a chain of recollections — an idea which carries you back to other times, to other places — which, very likely, have no connection with the present time and place.
Alexandre Dumas
Everyone knows that drunkards and lovers have a protecting diety.
Alexandre Dumas
I have no will, unless it be the will never to decide. I have been so overwhelmed by the many storms that have broken over my head, that I am become passive in the hands of the Almighty, like a sparrow in the talons of an eagle. I live, because it is not ordained for me to die.
Alexandre Dumas
In this world, all--men, women, and kings--must live for the present. We can only live for the future for God
Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas
Often we pass beside happiness without seeing it, without looking at it, or even if we have seen and looked at it, without recognizing it.
Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas
We’ll go where the air is pure, where all sounds are soothing, where, no matter how proud one may be, one feels humble and finds oneself small- in short, we’ll go to the sea. I love the sea as one loves a mistress and I long for her when I haven’t seen her for some time
Alexandre Dumas
The custom and fashion of today will be the awkwardness and outrage of tomorrow - so arbitrary are these transient laws.
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 difference between treason and patriotism is only a matter of dates.
Alexandre Dumas
Happiness is egotistical.
Alexandre Dumas
For all evils there are two remedies - time and silence.
Alexandre Dumas
Learning does not make one learned: there are those who have knowledge and those who have understanding. The first requires memory and the second philosophy
Alexandre Dumas
