Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel History Quotations

World history is a court of judgment.

The history of the world is none other than the progress of the , consciousness of freedom.

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.

We learn from history that man can never learn anything from history.

The history of the world is none other than the progress of the consciousness of freedom.
