Alexandre Dumas

All for one and one for all.

A person who doubts himself is like a man who would enlist in the ranks of his enemies and bear arms against himself. He makes his failure certain by himself being the first person to be convinced of it.

 Business? It's quite simple; it's other people's money.

He was thinking alone, and seriously racking his brain to find a direction for this single force four times multiplied, with which he did not doubt, as with the lever for which Archimedes sought, they should succeed in moving the world, when some one tapped gently at his door. 

Happiness is like those palaces in fairy tales whose gates are guarded by dragons: we must fight in order to conquer it.

I prefer rogues to imbeciles, because they sometimes take a rest. 


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.

Pure love and suspicion cannot dwell together: at the door where the latter enters, the former makes its exit.
