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.

More quotes by 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
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
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
God is the absolute truth...
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
The East knew and to the present day knows only that One is Free the Greek and the Roman world, that some are free the German World knows that All are free. The first political form therefore which we observe in History, is Despotism, the second Democracy and Aristocracy, the third, Monarchy.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
The substance, the essence, the Spirit is freedom.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Beauty is merely the Spiritual making itself known sensuously.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
I have the courage to be mistaken.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Genuine tragedy is a case not of right against wrong but of right against right - two equally justified ethical principles embodied in people of unchangeable will.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
The learner always begins by finding fault, but the scholar sees the positive merit in everything.
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
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 State is the absolute reality and the individual himself has objective existence, truth and morality only in his capacity as a member of the State.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
There are Plebes in all classes.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
History in general is therefore the development of Spirit in Time, as Nature is the development of the Idea is Space.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Mere goodness can achieve little against the power of nature.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Too fair to worship, too divine to love.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Whatever is reasonable is true, and whatever is true is reasonable
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
An individual piece only has meaning when it is seen as part of the whole.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
