More quotes by Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant
I shall never forget my mother, for it was she who planted and nurtured the first seeds of good within me. She opened my heart to the lasting impressions of nature she awakened my understanding and extended my horizon and her percepts exerted an everlasting influence upon the course of my life.
Immanuel Kant
From such crooked wood as that which man is made of, nothing straight can be fashioned.
