Welcome to the Daily Quote , the podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, and this episode is brought to you by the Great News podcast . Because great news should be heard, and the link is right here in the show notes. Today's quote is from Victor Hugo He was a French novelist, poet, and playwright who lived from 1802 to 1885. He is best known for his literary masterpieces Les Misérables and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame. Beyond his writing, Hugo was a passionate advocate for education, human rights, and social reform, believing that knowledge and compassion could transform both individuals and society. Victor Hugo once said: "He who opens a school door, closes a prison." This quote reminds us that education is about much more than learning facts. Education gives people opportunities. It teaches us how to think critically, solve problems, and make informed decisions. It opens doors to careers, inspires creativity, and helps us understand one another. When children and adults are given access to quality education, they gain more than knowledge. They gain hope. Of course, education alone can't solve every problem in society…
