More quotes by 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.
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
For in those tacit understandings which maintain the bond of family union, the mother is really the mistress of her daughter only upon the condition of continually presenting herself to her as a model of wisdom and type of perfection.
Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas
I am a count, not a saint.
Alexandre Dumas
It is almost as difficult to keep a first class person in a fourth class job, as it is to keep a fourth class person in a first class job.
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
True love always makes a man better, no matter who the woman is that inspires it.
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
In every country where independence has taken the place of liberty, the first desire of a manly heart is to possess a weapon which at once renders him capable of defence or attack, and, by rendering its owner fearsome, makes him feared.
Alexandre Dumas
Joy to hearts which have suffered long is like the dew on the ground after a long drought both the heart and the ground absorb that beneficent moisture falling on them, and nothing is outwardly apparant.
Alexandre Dumas
God orders a man to do all he can to save his life.
