Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
Life has value only when it has something valuable as its object.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
Serious occupation is labor that has reference to some want.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
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
Image
When individuals and nations have once got in their heads the abstract concept of full-blown liberty, there is nothing like it in its uncontrollable strength.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
The sole work and deed of universal freedom is therefore death, a death too which has no inner significance or filling, for what is negated is the empty point of the absolutely free self. It is thus the coldest and meanest of all deaths, with no more significance than cutting off a head of cabbage or swallowing a mouthful of water.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
Beauty is merely the Spiritual making itself known sensuously.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
The valor that struggles is better than the weakness that endures.
