Immanuel Kant
Image

Immanuel Kant

Rules for Happiness: something to do, someone to love, something to hope for.
Immanuel Kant
Image
There is something splendid about innocence but what is bad about it, in turn, is that it cannot protect itself very well and is easily seduced.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Suicide is not abominable because God prohibits it God prohibits it because it is abominable.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Honesty is better than any policy.
Immanuel Kant
Image
If education is to develop human nature so that it may attain the object of its being, it must involve the exercise of judgment.
