Prince Frederick Wilhelm

Famous quotes containing the words prince, frederick and/or wilhelm:

    The prince exults whomever he selects as his consort, but the queen, rather than elevating the subject of her choice, humiliates him as a man. By all that is right, a man is not intended to be the husband of his wife, but a woman is to be her husband’s wife.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    But since ‘tis only Fred,
    Who was alive and is dead,
    There’s no more to be said.
    —Unknown. On Prince Frederick (l. 11–13)

    In the course of the actual attainment of selfish ends—an attainment conditioned in this way by universality—there is formed a system of complete interdependence, wherein the livelihood, happiness, and legal status of one man is interwoven with the livelihood, happiness, and rights of all. On this system, individual happiness, etc. depend, and only in this connected system are they actualized and secured.
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
