Without man and his potential for moral progress, the whole of reality would be a mere wilderness, a thing in vain, and have no final purpose.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The inscrutable wisdom through which we exist is not less worthy of veneration in respect to what it denies us than in respect to what it has granted.
Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant
Image
Freedom is independence of the compulsory will of another, and in so far as it tends to exist with the freedom of all according to a universal law, it is the one sole original inborn right belonging to every man in virtue of his humanity.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The sceptics, a kind of nomads, despising all settled culture of the land, broke up from time to time all civil society. Fortunately their number was small, and they could not prevent the old settlers from returning to cultivate the ground afresh, though without any fixed plan or agreement.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Seek not the favor of the multitude it is seldom got by honest and lawful means. But seek the testimony of few and number not voices, but weigh them.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Happiness, though an indefinite concept, is the goal of all rational beings
Immanuel Kant
Image
Religion is the recognition of all our duties as divine commands.
