Identify the right quotes of Hegel.
1. ‘To be independent of public opinion is the first formal condition of achieving anything great.’
2. Nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion.
3. To be aware of limitations is not to be beyond them.
4. The more certain our knowledge the more we know.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
The statements about independence from public opinion and the necessity of passion are associated with Hegel. The first emphasizes independent judgment, while the second emphasizes the committed energy through which great achievements are realized. The claim that awareness of limitations does not go beyond them reverses Hegel’s argument: recognizing something as a limit already requires a standpoint beyond it.
