Wilhelm

Famous quotes containing the word wilhelm:

    But what experience and history teach is this—that peoples and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    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 (1770–1831)

    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)
