Famous quotes containing the word wilhelm:

    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)
