Three quotes by Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas, père, born Dumas Davy de la Pailleterie (24 July 1802 - 5 December 1870) was a French writer, best known for his numerous historical novels of high adventure which have made him one of the most widely read French authors in the world. Many of his novels, including The Count of Monte Cristo, The Three Musketeers, Twenty Years After, and The Vicomte de Bragelonne were serialized. He also wrote plays and magazine articles and was a prolific correspondent.
 Nothing succeeds like success. 
Rien ne réussit comme le succès.

 Oh! the good times when we were so unhappy. 
Oh le bon temps où étions si malheureux.

Les chaînes du mariage sont si lourdes qu'il faut être deux pour les porter ; quelquefois trois.
