I am a priest, not a saint; I am a count, not a saint.

Between friends, it may be because of some trivial things that there will be feuds. With no opportunity for explanation, the resentment grew. It's easy to make friends jealous when you have something that your friends don't have. The sentence "Let your friends underestimate you, and let your enemies overestimate you" really makes sense.


If the old priest hadn't taught Edmund the knowledge and swordsmanship, no matter how rich he was, he wouldn't be so aura to become an earl, but just an upstart.

The Count of Monte Cristo quotes

  • Napoleon: Time you were on your way. Your captain has been dead for half an hour.

    Edmond: Are you sure?

    Napoleon: When you have walked as many battlefields as I, young Dantes, you can feel death.

  • J.F. Villefort, Chief Magistrate: Well, I must say, Dantes, you don't have the look of a traitor.

    J.F. Villefort, Chief Magistrate: He's a recent acquaintance, yes.

    Edmond Dantes: Oh, there you are. He'll vouch for me.

    J.F. Villefort, Chief Magistrate: No doubt, but you said "almost the entire time."

    Edmond Dantes: Except for when Napoleon asked me to deliver a personal letter to a friend in Marseilles.

    J.F. Villefort, Chief Magistrate: Well, Dantes, it is for accepting that treasonous correspondence that you have been denounced by your own first mate, a monsieur Danglars.

    Edmond Dantes: What?
