More quotes by Alexandre Dumas
Oh! The good times when we were so unhappy.
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
I am hungry, feed me I am bored, amuse me.
Alexandre Dumas
The custom and fashion of today will be the awkwardness and outrage of tomorrow - so arbitrary are these transient laws.
Alexandre Dumas
Love is the most selfish of all the passions.
Alexandre Dumas
There is no friendship that cares about an overheard secret.
Alexandre Dumas
We must never expect discretion in first love: it is accompanied by such excessive joy that unless the joy is allowed to overflow, it will choke you.
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
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
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
Philosophy cannot be taught it is the application of the sciences to truth.
Alexandre Dumas
The air in Provence is impregnated with the aroma of garlic, which makes it very healthful to breathe.
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
There are misfortunes in life that no one will accept people would rather believe in the supernatural and the impossible.
Alexandre Dumas
For there are two distinct sorts of ideas: Those that proceed from the head and those that emanate from the heart.
Alexandre Dumas
There are people who are willing to suffer and swallow their tears at leisure, and God will no doubt reward them in heaven for their resignation but those who have the will to struggle strike back at fate in retaliation for the blows they receive.
Alexandre Dumas
On what slender threads do life and fortune hang.
Alexandre Dumas
It is quite rare for God to provide a great man at the necessary moment to carry out some great deep, which is why when this unusual combination of circumstance does occur, history at once records the name of the chosen one and recommends him to the admiration of posterity.
Alexandre Dumas
The merit of all things lies in their difficulty.
Alexandre Dumas
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.
