Alexandre Dumas

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

Alexandre Dumas
Happiness is egotistical.
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
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
Be happy, noble heart, be blessed for all the good thou hast done and wilt do hereafter, and let my gratitude remain in obscurity like your good deeds.
Alexandre Dumas
Love is the most selfish of all the passions.
Alexandre Dumas
Edmond Dantes: I don't believe in God. Abbe Faria: That doesn't matter, He believes in you.
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
