Immanuel Kant
Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind.

Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant
Apart from moral conduct, all that man thinks himself able to do in order to become acceptable to God is mere superstition and religious folly.
Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant
Through laziness and cowardice a large part of mankind, even after nature has freed them from alien guidance, gladly remain immature. It is because of laziness and cowardice that it is so easy for others to usurp the role of guardians. It is so comfortable to be a minor!
Immanuel Kant
In the mere concept of one thing it cannot be found any character of its existence.
Immanuel Kant
