More quotes by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
No man is a hero to his valet de chamber
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
The substance, the essence, the Spirit is freedom.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
The Catholics had been in the position of oppressors, and the Protestants of the oppressed
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Truth in philosophy means that concept and external reality correspond.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Too fair to worship, too divine to love.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Serious occupation is labor that has reference to some want.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
In a true tragedy, both parties must be right.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Propounding peace and love without practical or institutional engagement is delusion, not virtue.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
An individual piece only has meaning when it is seen as part of the whole.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
War is progress, peace is stagnation.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
What the English call comfortable is something endless and inexhaustible. Every condition of comfort reveals in turn its discomfort, and these discoveries go on for ever. Hence the new want is not so much a want of those who have it directly, but is created by those who hope to make profit from it.
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
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
The valor that struggles is better than the weakness that endures.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
What history teaches us is that neither nations nor governments ever learn anything from it.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Whatever happens, every individual is a child of his time so philosophy too is its own time apprehended in thoughts. It is just as absurd to fancy that a philosophy can transcend its contemporary world as it is to fancy that an individual can overleap his own age, jump over Rhodes.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
If you want to love you must serve, if you want freedom you must die.
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
It is because the method of physics does not satisfy the comprehension that we have to go on further.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
The real is the rational and the rational is the real.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
