Johann Friedrich Herbart on Sympathy

d. 1841 Germany

← All quotes by Johann Friedrich Herbart

1 quote

Whatever the day brings, part of it always belongs to sympathy, for the well-being of men and states is ever changing. Thus observation and sympathy are the movements by which we make every moment of time our own—through which we properly live. When their pulse beats faintly, leisure becomes a burden; the bolder spirits then open the door of time and seek eternity.
