Alexandre Dumas Quote

Eh, gentlemen, let us reckon upon accidents! Life is a chaplet of little miseries which the philosopher counts with a smile. Be philosophers, as I am, gentlemen; sit down at the table and let us drink. Nothing makes the future look so bright as surveying it through a glass of chambertin.

Athos, Ch. 48: A Family Affair. - The Three Musketeers (1844)
