Famous quotes containing the words wilhelm and/or von:

    “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.”
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    “We cannot assume the injustice of any actions which only create offense, and especially as regards religion and morals. He who utters or does anything to wound the conscience and moral sense of others, may indeed act immorally; but, so long as he is not guilty of being importunate, he violates no right.”
    —Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)
