More quotes by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Impatience asks for the impossible, wants to reach the goal without the means of getting there. The length of the journey has to be borne with, for every moment is necessary.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
The heart-throb for the welfare of humanity therefore passes into the ravings of an insane self-conceit, into the fury of consciousness to preserve itself from destruction and it does this by expelling from itself the perversion which it is itself, and by striving to look on it and express it as something else.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Animals are in possession of themselves their soul is in possession of their body. But they have no right to their life, because they do not will it.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
No man is a hero to his valet. This is not because the hero is no hero, but because the valet is a valet.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Amid the pressure of great events, a general principle gives no help.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Serious occupation is labor that has reference to some want.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
We learn from history that man can never learn anything from history.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
World history is a court of judgment.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
History is not the soil of happiness. The periods of happiness are blank pages in it.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Evil resides in the very gaze which perceives Evil all around itself.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
To him who looks at the world rationally the world looks rationally back.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
On the stage on which we are observing it, — Universal History — Spirit displays itself in its most concrete reality.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
As high as mind stands above nature, so high does the state stand above physical life. Man must therefore venerate the state as a secular deity.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
What is rational is actual and what is actual is rational
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
It is easier to discover a deficiency in individuals, in states, and in Providence, than to see their real import and value.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
God is, as it were, the sewer into which all contradictions flow.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
I have the courage to be mistaken.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Only one man ever understood me, and he didn't understand me
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
