"To love or have loved, that is..." - Quote by Victor Hugo

“The wicked envy and hate; it is their way of admiring.”

“A creditor is worse than a slave-owner; for the master owns only your person, but a creditor owns your dignity, and can command it.”

“What makes night within us may leave stars.”

“No longer a stranger, you listen all day to these crazy love-words. Like a bee you fill hundreds of homes with honey, though yours is a long flight from here.”

“Yet there it was not love. It was a little fever of admiration; but it might, probably must, end in love with some”

“If one judges love by the majority of its effects, it is more like hatred than like friendship.”

“Few things make the life of a parent more rewarding and sweet as successful children.”

“I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.”

“I look on that man as happy, who, when there is question of success, looks into his work for a reply.”
