Words Worth Noting - June 2, 2026

“Je préfère les bandits aux imbéciles parce qu’ils se reposent, eux.”

Some version of this line (which was emailed to me) is widely attributed to Alexandre Dumas online, but I cannot find any actual place he allegedly said it which makes me think he did not. I pass it on anyway because if he did not say it, he should have. [Of course if you can cite its origin, with him or anyone else, please let me know.]
