Immanuel Kant
Image
The possession of power inevitably spoils the free use of reason.
Immanuel Kant

Man desired concord but nature knows better what is good for his species she desires discord. Man wants to live easy and content but nature compels him to leave ease... and throw himself into roils and labors.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Always treat people as ends in themselves, never as means to an end.
Immanuel Kant
Image
From such crooked wood as that which man is made of, nothing straight can be fashioned.

I am an investigator by inclination. I feel a great thirst for knowledge.
Immanuel Kant
Image

Immanuel Kant
