...remember that what has once been done may be done again.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
It is the infirmity of our nature always to believe ourselves much more unhappy than those who groan by our sides!
Alexandre Dumas
Image
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
Image
D'Artagnan, my friend, thou art brave, thou art prudent, thou hast excellent qualities, but- women will destroy thee! -D'Artagnan
Alexandre Dumas
Image

In business, sir, one has no friends, only correspondents.
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
Image
I prefer the wicked rather than the foolish. The wicked sometimes rest.
Alexandre Dumas

I am strong against everything, except against the death of those I love. He who dies gains he who sees others die loses.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
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
Image
All for one, one for all, that is our device.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
It was like the eve of a battle the hearts beat, the eyes laughed, and they felft that the life they were perhaps going to lose, was after all, a good thing.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
Order is the key to all problems.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
Tell the angel who will watch over your life to pray now and then for a man who, like Satan, believed himself for an instant to be equal to God, but who realized in all humility that supreme power and wisdom are in the hands of God alone.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
Now I'd like someone to tell me there is no drama in real life!
Alexandre Dumas
Image
Athos liked every one to exercise his own free-will. He never gave his advice before it was demanded and even then it must be demanded twice. In general, people only ask for advice, he said that they may not follow it or if they should follow it that they may have somebody to blame for having given it.

If it is ones lot to be cast among fools, one must learn foolishness.-The Count of Monte Cristo
