Wisdom Quote by Alexandre Dumas — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“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.”

“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. We must have felt what it is to die, Morrel, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life.”

“So, preferring death to capture, I accomplished the most astonishing deeds, and which, more then once, showed me that the too great care we take of our bodies is the only obstacle to the sucess of those projects which require rapid decision, and vigorous and determined execution.”

“God wants man, whom he has created and in whose heart he has so profoundly entrenched a love for life, to do all he can to preseve an existence that is sometimes so painful, but always so dear to him.”

“I do not cling to life sufficiently to fear death.”

“Ordinary people merely think how they shall 'spend' their time; a man of talent tries to 'use' it.”

“لقد استحوذت علي آن ذاك فكرة مهيمنة: فلأول مرة في حياتي أرى الحقيقة كما يتغنى بها الكثير من الشعراء، وكما ينادي بها الكثير من المفكرين على أنها الحكمة العظمى: الحقيقة هي أن الحب هو الهدف الغائي والأسمى الذي يمكن أن يطمح إليه الإنسان. ثم أدركت معنى السر الأعظم الذي ينبغي أن يفصح عنه الشعر الإنساني والفكر لإنساني والإيمان الصادق: أن خلاص الإنسان هو من خلال الحب وفي الحب.”

“Vivid simplicity is the articulation, the nature of genius. Wisdom is greater than intelligence; intelligence is greater than philosobabble.”

“Magic is a dangerous thing, child. It isn’t something to use lightly.”

“A meaningful life is built from the questions we refuse to stop asking.”

“Throughout the day, make a conscious effort to follow your highest leadings, whatever feels most alive, exciting, or natural in each moment. You are looking for the thread of synchronicity and allowing it to guide you from one thing to the next.”
