More quotes by Alexandre Dumas

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
So much the worse for those who fear wine, for it is because they have some bad thoughts which they are afraid the liquor will extract from their hearts.

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.
