Every Idea, Extended Into Infinity, Becomes Its

Beauty And Art Pervade All The Business Of Life Like A Kindly Genius, Brightly Adorning Our Surroundings Whether Interior Or Exterior, Mitigating The Seriousness Of Existence And The Complexities Of The Real Life, Extinguishing Idleness In An Entertaining Fashion, And, Where There Is Nothing Good To Be Achieved, Filling The Place Of Vice Better Than Vice Itself.

The State Is The Divine Idea As It Exists On Earth.

The Sole Work And Deed Of Universal Freedom Is Therefore Death, A Death Too Which Has No Inner Significance Or Filling, For What Is Negated Is The Empty Point Of The Absolutely Free Self. It Is Thus The Coldest And Meanest Of All Deaths, With No More Significance Than Cutting Off A Head Of Cabbage Or Swallowing A Mouthful Of Water.

The State Is The Absolute Reality And The Individual Himself Has Objective Existence, Truth And Morality Only In His Capacity As A Member Of The State.

The East Knew And To The Present Day Knows Only That One Is Free; The Greek And The Roman World, That Some Are Free; The German World Knows That All Are Free. The First Political Form Therefore Which We Observe In History, Is Despotism, The Second Democracy And Aristocracy, The Third, Monarchy.
