Quotes by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

The following are quotes from Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel:

Reason is the substance of the universe. The design of the world is absolutely rational.

The first glance at History convinces us that the actions of men proceed from their needs, their passions, their characters and talents and impresses us with the belief that such needs, passions and interests are the sole spring of actions.

We learn from history that we do not learn from history.

What experience and history teach is this - that nations and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted upon any lessons they might have drawn from it.
