Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Regarding History as the slaughter-bench at which the happiness of peoples, the wisdom of States, and the virtue of individuals have been victimized--the question involuntarily arises--to what principle, to what final aim these enormous sacrifices have been offered.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Poetry is the universal art of the spirit which has become free in itself and which is not tied down for its realization to external sensuous material instead, it launches out exclusively in the inner space and the inner time of ideas and feelings.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
World history is a court of judgment.
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
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
We learn from history that man can never learn anything from history.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
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
The essence of the modern state is the union of the universal with the full freedom of the particular, and with the welfare of individuals.
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
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
Whatever is reasonable is true, and whatever is true is reasonable
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Animals are in possession of themselves their soul is in possession of their body. But they have no right to their life, because they do not will it.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
The proofs of the existence of God are to such an extent fallen into discredit that they pass for something antiquated, belonging to days gone by.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
The people are that part of the state that does not know what it wants.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
War is progress, peace is stagnation.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Every idea, extended into infinity, becomes its own opposite.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Reading the morning newspaper is the realist's morning prayer.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
In the Soul is the awaking of Consciousness: Consciousness sets itself up as Reason, awaking at one bound to the sense of its rationality: and this Reason by its activity emancipates itself to objectivity and the consciousness of its intelligent unity.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
What is rational is actual and what is actual is rational
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
