More quotes by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Every idea, extended into infinity, becomes its own opposite.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Philosophy is the history of philosophy.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Science and knowledge, especially that of philosophy, came from the Arabs into the West.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
No man is a hero to his valet. This is not because the hero is no hero, but because the valet is a valet.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
People who are too fastidious towards the finite never reach actuality, but linger in abstraction, and their light dies away.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
World history is a court of judgment.
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
To him who looks at the world rationally the world looks rationally back.
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

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
We learn from history that man can never learn anything from history.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
The nature of finite things is to have the seed of their passing-away as their essential being: the hour of their birth is the hour of their death.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Not curiosity, not vanity, not the consideration of expediency, not duty and conscientiousness, but an unquenchable, unhappy thirst that brooks no compromise leads us to truth.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Nothing great has been and nothing great can be accomplished without passion. It is only a dead, too often, indeed, a hypocriticalmoralizing which inveighs against the form of passion as such.
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
The substance, the essence, the Spirit is freedom.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Genuine tragedies in the world are not conflicts between right and wrong. They are conflicts between two rights.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
What history teaches us is that neither nations nor governments ever learn anything from it.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
India has created a special momentum in world history as a country to be searched for knowledge.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
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
