To him who looks upon the world rationally, the world in its turn presents a rational aspect. The relation is mutual Picture Quote #1

A man who has work that suits him and a wife, whom he loves, has squared his accounts with life Picture Quote #1

Genuine tragedies in the world are not conflicts between right and wrong. They are conflicts between two rights Picture Quote #1

Not curiosity, not vanity, not the consideration of expediency, not duty and conscientiousness, but an unquenchable, unhappy thirst that brooks no compromise leads us to truth Picture Quote #1

Animals are in possession of themselves; their soul is in possession of their body. But they have no right to their life, because they do not will it Picture Quote #1

Reading the morning newspaper is the realist’s morning. One orients one’s attitude toward the either by or by what the world is. The former gives as much security as the latter, in that one knows how one stands Picture Quote #1

Philosophy is by its nature something esoteric, neither made for the mob nor capable of being prepared for the mob Picture Quote #1

An idea is always a generalization, and generalization is a property of thinking. To generalize means to think Picture Quote #1

The heart is everywhere, and each part of the organism is only the specialized force of the heart itself Picture Quote #1

It is because the method of physics does not satisfy the comprehension that we have to go on further Picture Quote #1

The bud disappears when the blossom breaks through, and we might say that the former is refuted by the latter; in the same way when the fruit comes, the blossom may be explained to be a false form of the plant’s existence, for the fruit appears as its true nature in place of the blossom. The ceaseless activity of their own inherent nature makes these stages moments of an organic unity, where they not merely do not contradict one another, but where one is as necessary as the other; and constitutes thereby the life of the whole Picture Quote #1

Poverty in itself does not make men into a rabble; a rabble is created only when there is joined to poverty a disposition of mind, an inner indignation against the rich, against society, against the government Picture Quote #1

When we walk the streets at night in safety, it does not strike us that this might be otherwise. This habit of feeling safe has become second nature, and we do not reflect on just how this is due solely to the working of special institutions. Commonplace thinking often has the impression that force holds the state together, but in fact its only bond is the fundamental sense of order which everybody possesses Picture Quote #1

Public opinion contains all kinds of falsity and truth, but it takes a great man to find the truth in it. The great man of the age is the one who can put into words the will of his age, tell his age what its will is, and accomplish it. What he does is the heart and the essence of his age, he actualizes his age. The man who lacks sense enough to despise public opinion expressed in gossip will never do anything great Picture Quote #1

People who are too fastidious towards the finite never reach actuality, but linger in abstraction, and their light dies away Picture Quote #1

Truth is found neither in the thesis nor the antithesis, but in an emergent synthesis which reconciles the two Picture Quote #1

The true courage of civilized nations is readiness for sacrifice in the service of the state, so that the individual counts as only one amongst many. The important thing here is not personal mettle but aligning oneself with the universal Picture Quote #1

The state of man’s mind, or the elementary phase of mind which he so far possesses, conforms precisely to the state of the world as he so far views it Picture Quote #1

History is not the soil of happiness. The periods of happiness are blank pages in it Picture Quote #1

The evident character of this defective cognition of which mathematics is proud, and on which it plumes itself before philosophy, rests solely on the poverty of its purpose and the defectiveness of its stuff, and is therefore of a kind that philosophy must spurn Picture Quote #1

... if the fear of falling into error is the source of a mistrust in Science, which in the absence of any such misgivings gets on with the work itself and actually does know, it is difficult to see why, conversely, a mistrust should not be placed in this mistrust, and why we should not be concerned that this fear of erring is itself the very error Picture Quote #1

No man is a hero to his valet. This is not because the hero is no hero, but because the valet is a valet Picture Quote #1

The spirit is never at rest, but always engaged in progressive motion, giving itself new form Picture Quote #1

Freedom is the fundamental character of the will, as weight is of matter... That which is free is the will. Will without freedom is an empty word Picture Quote #1
