Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image

World history is a court of judgment.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
In the case of various kinds of knowledge, we find that what in former days occupied the energies of men of mature mental ability sinks to the level of information, exercises, and even pastimes for children and in this educational progress we can see the history of the world's culture delineated in faint outline.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
What is rational is actual and what is actual is rational
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
Destiny is consciousness of oneself, but consciousness of oneself as an enemy.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
Once the state has been founded, there can no longer be any heroes. They come on the scene only in uncivilized conditions.
