Victor Hugo
Image
Have no fear of robbers or murderers. They are external dangers, petty dangers. We should fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers vices the real murderers. The great dangers are within us. Why worry about what threatens our heads or our purses? Let us think instead of what threatens our souls.

Victor Hugo
Image
God whose gifts in gracious flood Unto all who seek are sent, Only asks you to be good And is content.
Victor Hugo
Image
Go out in the world and work like money doesn't matter, sing as if no one is listening, love as if you have never been hurt, and dance as if no one is watching.
Victor Hugo
Image
Years place at last a venerable crown upon a head.
Victor Hugo
