Famous line by Victor Hugo from his collection of poems " Les Voix Intérieures " published in 1837 (V. Dieu est toujours là. II).
"He who gives to the poor lends to God." - Victor Hugo
A magnificent thought that the writer wished to be universal; which he wrote and quoted regularly throughout his life, like a philosophical and religious testament.
Blessed are those whom my zeal inflames!
He who gives to the poor lends to God.
The good we do perfumes the soul;
We always remember it a little!
In the evening, at the threshold of his home,
Happy is he who still knows
Picking up a crying child
Like a miser with a gold sequin.
