Le Père Goriot

"Moi et la vie, nous sommes comme un jeune homme et sa fiançée." Le Père Goriot in Honoré de Balzac's Le Père Goriot.

What an attitude with which to approach each day of life! An enthusiasm, a feeling of good will and of boundless hope, and a love for life which characterizes newlyweds would surely be worthy sentiments to retain everyday.
