Individual Age

Famous quotes containing the words individual and/or age:

    In the course of the actual attainment of selfish ends—an attainment conditioned in this way by universality—there is formed a system of complete interdependence, wherein the livelihood, happiness, and legal status of one man is interwoven with the livelihood, happiness, and rights of all. On this system, individual happiness, etc. depend, and only in this connected system are they actualized and secured.
    Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    Our age is an age of moderate virtue
    And of moderate vice
    When men will not lay down the Cross
    Because they will never assume it.
    Yet nothing is impossible, nothing,
    To men of faith and conviction.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
