More quotes by 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
Philosophy is the history of philosophy.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
What is reasonable is real that which is real is reasonable.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Once the state has been founded, there can no longer be any heroes. They come on the scene only in uncivilized conditions.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
The valor that struggles is better than the weakness that endures.
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
The learner always begins by finding fault, but the scholar sees the positive merit in everything.
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
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
World history is a court of judgment.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
God is the absolute truth...
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
There are Plebes in all classes.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
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
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
The people will learn to feel the dignity of man. They will not merely demand their rights, which have been trampled in the dust, but themselves will take them - make them their own.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Every idea, extended into infinity, becomes its own opposite.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Destiny is consciousness of oneself, but consciousness of oneself as an enemy.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
An individual piece only has meaning when it is seen as part of the whole.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
I have the courage to be mistaken.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
