“[U]ntil the day when God will deign to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom is contained in these two words,—’Wait and hope. ‘” This remark also appears in the final letter Monte Cristo leaves for Maximilian in Chapter 117. These words represent Monte Cristo’s final renunciation of his project of vengeance.

Alexandre Dumas’ famous story, The Count of Monte Cristo, was a fictional story based on real events. Alexandre Dumas tells the story of Edmond Dantès, a wrongfully imprisoned man.

Tom Reiss’ swashbuckling new book, “The Black Count,” tells the true story of Alex Dumas, son of a French nobleman and an African slave, the father of author Alexandre Dumas and the inspiration for the younger Dumas’ classic novel “The Count of Monte Cristo.”

Quote 4. “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.”

You must look into that storm and shout as you did,. “Do your worst, for I will do mine!” — The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. I think it means; to do something, anything, when the ship is sinking. Those times when you have no back up plan, no cannon fodder, just another failed attempt at life.

Alexandre Dumas Quotes “Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes.”

What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes. You must look into that storm and shout as you did in Rome. Do your worst, for I will do mine! Then the fates will know you as we know you: as Albert Mondego, the man!

With difficulty. How did I plan this moment? With pleasure.”

Ensure you do the following during a severe storm:

• Stay indoors and away from windows.
• If outdoors, shelter away from drains, gutters, creeks and waterways.
• Be prepared for power outages.
• Floodwater is dangerous – never drive, walk or ride through floodwater.
• Floodwater is toxic – never play or swim in floodwater.

Remember to juggle between the main steam level and the Overdrive system to burn less coal but still keep everything warm and toasty for your citizens. Your goal here isn’t to keep everything liveable. Instead, just shoot to keep things at least chilly or above.

Evacuate immediately and calmly—if there’s an order from your local government unit or if you live near a body of water or mountainsides—to avoid flash floods and landslides. Close all windows and switch off your main power supply. Make a plan for staying in touch with your family during a typhoon.

Remain calm and stay inside your house or the evacuation center. Turn off main switch for utilities like water and electricity. Have a flashlight or lamp in hand in case of emergency and loss of electricity. Keep away from possible dangers like glass windows.
