Philosophy cannot teach the state what it should be, but only how it, the ethical universe, is to be known.
Person is essentially different from subject. Subject is only the possibility of personality. Any living thing at all is a subject, while person is a subject which has its subjectivity as an object. As a person I exist for myself. Personality is the free being in pure self-conscious isolation.
Our task does not require us to contemplate Nature as a Rational System in itself though in its own proper domain it proves itself such but simply in its relation to Spirit.
Only what is living feels a lack.
Only one word more concerning the desire to teach the world what it ought to be. For such a purpose philosophy at least always comes too late.
Once the state has been founded, there can no longer be any heroes. They come on the scene only in uncivilized conditions.
Once the children have been educated to freedom of personality, and have come of age, they become recognised as persons in the eyes of the law.
Nothing great in the World has been accomplished without passion.
Mere goodness can achieve little against the power of nature.
Life is essentially the concept which realises itself only through self-division and reunification.
It is useless to revert to similar circumstances in the Past.
It is not the concern of philosophy to produce religion in any individual.
