    But what experience and history teach is this—that peoples and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    Once the state has been founded, there can no longer be any heroes. They come on the scene only in uncivilized conditions.
