More quotes by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Amid the pressure of great events, a general principle gives no help.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
When needs and means become abstract in quality, abstraction is also a character of the reciprocal relation of individuals to oneanother. This abstract character, universality, is the character of being recognized and is the moment which makes concrete, i.e. social, the isolated and abstract needs and their ways and means of satisfaction.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
The true courage of civilized nations is readiness for sacrifice in the service of the state, so that the individual counts as only one amongst many. The important thing here is not personal mettle but aligning oneself with the universal.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
To him who looks at the world rationally the world looks rationally back.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Reading the morning newspaper is the realist's morning prayer.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
The learner always begins by finding fault, but the scholar sees the positive merit in everything.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
History is not the soil of happiness. The periods of happiness are blank pages in it.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
The man whom philosophy leaves cold, and the man whom real faith does not illuminate, may be assured that the fault lies in them, not in knowledge and faith. The former is still an alien to philosophy, the latter an alien to faith.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Whatever is reasonable is true, and whatever is true is reasonable
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
The valor that struggles is better than the weakness that endures.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
God is the absolute truth...
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
An individual piece only has meaning when it is seen as part of the whole.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
People who are too fastidious towards the finite never reach actuality, but linger in abstraction, and their light dies away.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Only one man ever understood me, and he didn't understand me
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
America is therefore the land of the future, where, in the ages that lie before us, the burden of the World's History shall reveal itself.
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
Philosophy is the history of philosophy.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Evil resides in the very gaze which perceives Evil all around itself.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Children are potentially free and their life directly embodies nothing save potential freedom. Consequently they are not things and cannot be the property either of their parents or others.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
