294. Practical Course for Teachers: On Drawing up the Time-table 04 Sep 1919, Stuttgart
Tr. Harry Collison

Rudolf Steiner
And we should be told: “Well, you see, this ignorance comes of Anthroposophy.” For this reason we must take care that the child can distinguish vowels from consonants. We must also teach him what a noun is, what an article is.
314. Physiology and Therapeutics: Lecture I 07 Oct 1920, Dornach
Tr. Alice Wuslin, Gerald Karnow

Rudolf Steiner
For just this reason we must not fail to carry anthroposophy into medicine, even at the outset of our anthroposophical efforts. In this course we have tried particularly to represent the various specialties with externally acknowledged specialists, for it is necessary, in presenting spiritual science to the world, that these various subjects be represented by professionals; otherwise they will not be accepted in the way they ought to be.
101. Occult Signs and Symbols: Lecture I 13 Sep 1907, Stuttgart
Tr. Sarah Kurland, Gilbert Church

Rudolf Steiner
Everyone who has occupied himself for some time with anthroposophy knows that our earth in its present embodiment has undergone several stages of development. In the far-distant past it was in a fiery-fluid condition.
115. Wisdom of Man, of the Soul, and of the Spirit: Franz Brentano and Aristotles Doctrine of the Spirit 12 Dec 1911, Berlin
Tr. Samuel P. Lockwood, Loni Lockwood

Rudolf Steiner
Two years ago the physical nature of man was discussed from the viewpoint of anthroposophy; last year, in the lectures on psychosophy, our subject was the nature of the human soul; this year we shall discuss the spiritual nature of man.
65. From Central European Intellectual Life: A Forgotten Quest for Spiritual Science Within the Development of German Thought 25 Feb 1916, Berlin

Rudolf Steiner
He says - Troxler's following words were written in 1835 -: "If it is highly gratifying that the newest philosophy, which we have long recognized as the one that founds all living religion and must reveal itself in every anthroposophy, thus in poetry as well as in history, is now making headway, it cannot be overlooked, that this idea cannot be a true fruit of speculation, and that the true personality or individuality of man must not be confused either with what it sets up as subjective spirit or finite ego, nor with what it confronts with as absolute spirit or absolute personality. In the 1830s, Troxler became aware of the idea of anthroposophy, a science that seeks to be a spiritual science based on human power in the truest sense of the word. Spiritual science can, if it is able to correctly understand the germs that come from the continuous flow of German intellectual life, say: Among Western peoples, for example, something comparable to spiritual science, something comparable to anthroposophy, can indeed arise; but there it will always arise in such a way that it runs alongside the continuous stream of the world view, alongside what is there science, and therefore very, very easily becomes a sect or a sectarianism. , but it will always arise in such a way that it runs alongside the continuous stream of world view, alongside what is science there, and therefore very, very easily tends towards sectarianism or dilettantism.
289. The Ideas Behind the Building of the Goetheanum: The Artistic Impulses Underlying the Building Idea 29 Jun 1921, Bern

Rudolf Steiner
However, this means that something has been created that differs from previous building practices and customs, but in the same way that spiritual science oriented towards anthroposophy also wants to place itself in the civilization of the present day: as something that feels related to the emerging forces of the rising sun, and at the same time wants to strongly oppose the terribly devastating forces of decline of our time. Thus, that which wants to live in the teaching of anthroposophy, the whole world view of anthroposophy, also wants to express itself through the building forms.
327. The Agriculture Course (1938): Lecture VIII 16 Jun 1924, Koberwitz
Tr. Günther Wachsmuth

Rudolf Steiner
Therefore, those friends who have been present and are not members of the Agricultural Circle must exercise restraint and not repeat what' they have heard wherever they go, as is so often done in Anthroposophy. This course has been decided on by the Agricultural Circle and the decision announced by our esteemed Count Keyserlingk, and I entirely agree with it.
This required energy, self-sacrifice, consciousness of the end in view, a sense of Anthroposophical values, a real identification with the cause of Anthroposophy. And this is why the work we have all been engaged upon, a work which will undoubtedly be of service to the whole of humanity, has seemed to take the form of a wonderful festival, for which we give our heartfelt thanks to Count and Countess Keyserlingk.
157. The Destinies of Individuals and of Nations: Lecture II 31 Oct 1914, Berlin
Tr. Anna R. Meuss

Rudolf Steiner
Then a simple popular saying can be seen in a new way in the light of anthroposophy. It is the proverb which says ‘Death is the grand leveller’. It makes them all equal—Frenchmen.
In making this attempt to gain inner understanding of what meets us here, in attempting to escape from Maya and enter into the truth, we can indeed say to ourselves that were are not pursuing an abstract anthroposophy that is afraid to see. For it would be fear of seeing the truth if we were to shrink from seeing national characters in their true foundations, because of our ‘First Principle.’
218. The Human Experience in the Ethereal Cosmos 07 Dec 1922, Berlin

Rudolf Steiner
And everything that can appeal to the human soul will enter the soul if anthroposophy becomes the purpose in life in this sense. Firstly, the human being knows that he belongs to the spiritual worlds and he also knows that his earthly existence must receive its tasks from the spiritual worlds.
Thus, everything that comes from experienced anthroposophy has the power to fulfill the whole person of its own accord, just as the instinctive clairvoyance, that is, the instinctive connection with the spiritual world, was once present in ancient humanity through the whole person.
335. The Crisis of the Present and the Path to Healthy Thinking: Questions of the Soul and Questions of Life: A Contemporary Speech 15 Jun 1920, Stuttgart

Rudolf Steiner
Their wisdom is borrowed from all the things they want to bury so that no one will find out about it. That is why they make people think that anthroposophy draws from gnosticism and the like, so that people think of gnosticism as something dangerous and do not look for themselves how this gnosticism has flowed not into anthroposophically oriented spiritual science, but into the modern content of creeds, by bringing into decadence what lived in gnosticism.
For here one is not checked when one asserts the most absurd. Anthroposophy, theosophy, spiritualism are all considered equal by many, and according to the saying that at night all cows are gray, one can with impunity combine everything and write derogatory reviews.
