Prince Frederick Wilhelm

Famous quotes containing the words prince, frederick and/or wilhelm:

    Subordination to morality can be slavish or vain or self- interested or resigned or gloomily enthusiastic or thoughtless or an act of despair, just as subordination to a prince can be: in itself it is nothing moral.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Only
    With words and people and love you move at ease.
    —John Frederick Nims (b. 1913)

    In history an additional result is commonly produced by human actions beyond that which they aim at and obtain—that which they immediately recognize and desire. They gratify their own interest; but something further is thereby accomplished, latent in the actions in question, though not present to their consciousness, and not included in their design.
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
