More quotes by Victor Hugo
Don't educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy, so they know the value of things, not the price.
Victor Hugo
We shall look on crime as a disease, and its physicians shall displace the judges, its hospitals displace the Galleys. Liberty and health shall be alike. We shall pour balm and oil where we formerly applied iron and fire evil will be treated in charity, instead of in anger. This change will be simple and sublime.
Victor Hugo
People do not read stupidities with impunity.
Victor Hugo
I repeat, whether we be Italians or Frenchmen, misery concerns us all.
Victor Hugo
The paradise of the rich is made out of the hell of the poor.
Victor Hugo
Forty is the old age of youth fifty the youth of old age.

Victor Hugo
Love is the foolishness of men, and the wisdom of God.
Victor Hugo
It has become necessary to call the attention of European governments to a fact which is apparently so insignificant that the governments seem not to notice it.

Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Society is a republic. When an individual tries to lift themselves above others, they are dragged down by the mass, either by ridicule or slander.
Victor Hugo
Knowledge is a weight added to conscience.
Victor Hugo
It is an unpleasant thing to go to bed without supper, it is a still less pleasant thing not to sup and not to know where one is to sleep.
Victor Hugo
Son, brother, father, lover, friend. There is room in the heart for all the affections, as there is room in heaven for all the stars.
Victor Hugo
It is not enough to be happy, one must be content.
Victor Hugo
Dost thou understand? I love thee! he cried again.What love! said the unhappy girl with a shudder.He resumed,--The love of a damned soul.
Victor Hugo
When we are at the end of life, to die means to go away when we are at the beginning, to go away means to die.
Victor Hugo
History has its truth and so has legend hers.
Victor Hugo
Nothing awakens reminiscence like an aroma.
Victor Hugo
It is not so easy to keep silent when the silence is a lie.
Victor Hugo
