“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.”
Written by French author Alexandre Dumas, and spoken by Edmond Dantes in The Count of Monte Cristo. This book is one of my all-time favorites, so I had to include this quote. Dumas’s portrayal of suffering, success, and perseverance is so accurate, not just in this quote, but throughout the rest of his story too.
This is such a great quote! Thanks for sharing!
