Life is a storm. One minute you will bathe under the sun and the next you will be shattered upon the rocks. That's when you shout, Do your worst, for I will do mine! and you will be remembered forever.
Alexandre Dumas

More quotes by Alexandre Dumas
There are two ways of seeing: with the body and with the soul. The body's sight can sometimes forget, but the soul remembers forever.
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
...remember that what has once been done may be done again.
Alexandre Dumas
It is the way of weakened minds to see everything through a black cloud. The soul forms its own horizons your soul is darkened, and consequently the sky of the future appears stormy and unpromising
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
In politics, my dear fellow, you know, as well as I do, there are no men, but ideas — no feelings, but interests in politics we do not kill a man, we only remove an obstacle, that is all.
Alexandre Dumas
It is rare that one can see in a little boy the promise of a man, but one can almost always see in a little girl the threat of a woman.
Alexandre Dumas
You scholars, you're in communication with the devil.
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
Hatred is blind rage carries you away and he who pours out vengeance runs the risk of tasting a bitter draught.
Alexandre Dumas
Your bitter memories still have time to turn into sweet ones.
Alexandre Dumas
I am hungry, feed me I am bored, amuse me.
Alexandre Dumas
D'Artagnan, my friend, thou art brave, thou art prudent, thou hast excellent qualities, but- women will destroy thee! -D'Artagnan
Alexandre Dumas
Unfortunates, who ought to begin with God, do not have any hope in him till they have exhausted all other means of deliverance.
Alexandre Dumas
Great is truth. Fire cannot burn it nor water drown it.
Alexandre Dumas
There is neither happiness nor misery in the world there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness.
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
A rogue does not laugh in the same way that an honest man does a hypocrite does not shed the tears of a man of good faith. All falsehood is a mask and however well made the mask may be, with a little attention we may always succeed in distinguishing it from the true face.
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
How did I escape? With difficulty. How did I plan this moment? With pleasure!
Alexandre Dumas
