Freedom is the alone unoriginated birthright of man, and belongs to him by force of his humanity and is independence on the will and co-action of every other in so far as this consists with every other person's freedom.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The busier we are, the more acutely we feel that we live, the more conscious we are of life.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Things which we see are not by themselves what we see ... It remains completely unknown to us what the objects may be by themselves and apart from the receptivity of our senses. We know nothing but our manner of perceiving them.
Immanuel Kant
Image
I am an investigator by inclination. I feel a great thirst for knowledge.
Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant
Image
That Logic has advanced in this sure course, even from the earliest times, is apparent from the fact that, since Aristotle, it has been unable to advance a step, and thus to all appearance has reached its completion.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Act so that the maxim of your act could be made the principle of a universal law.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Two things awe me most, the starry sky above me and the moral law within me.
Immanuel Kant
Image
He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.
Immanuel Kant
Image
A man who has tasted with profound enjoyment the pleasure of agreeable society will eat with a greater appetite than he who rode horseback for two hours. An amusing lecture is as useful for health as the exercise of the body.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Rules for Happiness: something to do, someone to love, something to hope for.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The hand is the visible part of the brain.
Immanuel Kant
Image
All natural capacities of a creature are destined to evolve completely to their natural end.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Space and time are the framework within which the mind is constrained to construct its experience of reality.
