The Person Must Give Himself An External

The True Is The Whole. But The Whole Is Nothing Other Than The Essence Consummating Itself Through Its Development. Of The Absolute It Must Be Said That It Is Essentially A Result, That Only In The End Is It What It Truly Is; And That Precisely In This Consists Its Nature, Viz. To Be Actual, Subject, The Spontaneous Becoming Of Itself.

Rulers, Statesmen, Nations, Are Wont To Be Emphatically Commended To The Teaching Which Experience Offers In History. But What Experience And History Teach Is This - That People And Governments Never Have Learned Anything From History, Or Acted On Principles Deduced From It. Each Period Is Involved In Such Peculiar Circumstances, Exhibits A Condition Of Things So Strictly Idiosyncratic, That Its Conduct Must Be Regulated By Considerations Connected With Itself, And Itself Alone.

Philosophy Must Indeed Recognize The Possibility That The People Rise To It, But Must Not Lower Itself To The People.

The People Are That Part Of The State That Does Not Know What It Wants.

The Substance, The Essence, The Spirit Is Freedom.
