Immanuel Kant
Happiness, though an indefinite concept, is the goal of all rational beings
Immanuel Kant
I am myself by inclination an investigator.
Immanuel Kant
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
Perpetual Peace is only found in the graveyard.
Immanuel Kant
The business of philosophy is not to give rules, but to analyze the private judgments of common reason.

Immanuel Kant
