Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant
Always treat people as ends in themselves, never as means to an end.
Immanuel Kant
The hand is the visible part of the brain.
Immanuel Kant
It is difficult for the isolated individual to work himself out of the immaturity which has become almost natural for him.
Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant
