The Count of Monte Cristo

"Forgive everyone everything."

"Hatred is blind; rage carries you away; and he who pours out vengeance runs the risk of tasting a bitter draught."

"I waited and suffered as a sailor at the mercy of the waves."

"I have been sometimes mad, but never unwise."

"Treasure is always buried under difficult circumstances."

"I am going to tell you something that will convince you of my sincerity."

"Well, then, I am neither God nor an angel, but simply a man who has suffered greatly."

"The greatest pleasure of revenge is to feel that your enemy suffers."

"How did I heal the wounds that time and bitterness had inflicted? With time and patience."

"The price of redemption is always paid in full."

"No amount of money can buy true contentment."

"The greatest prison is one of our own making."

"Time heals all wounds."

"The pursuit of knowledge is endless."

"Nothing is impossible to him who will try."

"The human heart is a fortress that cannot be taken by storm."

"The mind of man is capable of anything."

"To forgive is divine, but vengeance is human."

"Wisdom comes from life experience, not books alone."

"Become yourself or die."

"The good in this world far outweighs the evil."

"I am the instrument of Providence."

"To die is nothing, but to live without glory is to die every day."

"The past cannot hurt you anymore."

"I have suffered too much to be able to harbor hatred."

"The world judges us by our results."

"We live for hope alone."

"Memory is the treasure-house of the mind."

"Do you believe in Providence?"

"The greatest victory is not to conquer others but to conquer oneself."
