Immanuel Kant
Each according to his own way of seeing things, seek one goal, that is gratification.
Immanuel Kant
Freedom is the alone unoriginated birthright of man, and belongs to him by force of his humanity.
Immanuel Kant
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

Immanuel Kant
