More quotes by 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
Nothing makes time pass or shortens the way like a thought that absorbs in itself all the faculties of the one who is thinking. External existence is then like a sleep of which this thought is the dream. Under its influence, time has no more measure, space has no more distance.
Alexandre Dumas
Your bitter memories still have time to turn into sweet ones.
Alexandre Dumas
When a man resolves to avenge himself, he should first of all tear out the heart from his breast.
Alexandre Dumas
Life is very tenacious in these lawyers.
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
Ah, said the jailer, do not always brood over what is impossible, or you will be mad in a fortnight.
Alexandre Dumas
For the happy man prayer is only a jumble of words, until the day when sorrow comes to explain to him the sublime language by means of which he speaks to God.
Alexandre Dumas
...know you not that you are my sun by day, and my star by night? By my faith! I was in deepest darkness till you appeared and illuminated all.
Alexandre Dumas
One always hurries towards happiness, Monsieur Danglars, because when one has suffered much, one is at pains to believe in it.
Alexandre Dumas
God is always the last resource.
Alexandre Dumas
So rapid is the flight of our dreams upon the wings of imagination.
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
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
I do not cling to life sufficiently to fear death.
Alexandre Dumas
Youth is a blossom whose fruit is love happy is he who plucks it after watching it slowly ripen.
Alexandre Dumas
God orders a man to do all he can to save his life.
Alexandre Dumas
If God were suddenly condemned to live the life which He has inflicted upon men, He would kill Himself.
Alexandre Dumas
in prosperity prayers seem but a mere medley of words, until misfortune comes and the unhappy sufferer first understands the meaning of the sublime language in which he invokes the pity of heaven!
Alexandre Dumas
A weakened mind always sees everything through a black veil. The soul makes its own horizons your soul is dark, which is why you see such a cloudy sky.
Alexandre Dumas
