Immanuel Kant

Standing armies shall in time be totally abolished.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Man's greatest concern is to know how he shall properly fill his place in the universe and correctly understand what he must be in order to be a man.

The question is not so much whether there is life on Mars as whether it will continue to be possible to live on Earth
Immanuel Kant
Image
Our intellect does not draw its laws from nature, but it imposes its laws upon nature.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Have patience awhile slanders are not long-lived. Truth is the child of time erelong she shall appear to vindicate thee.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The more we come in contact with animals and observe their behaviour, the more we love them, for we see how great is their care of the young.
