A single line in the Bible has consoled me more than all the books I ever read besides.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the oftener and more steadily we reflect on them: the starry heavens above and the moral law within.

Immanuel Kant
Image
Metaphysics is a dark ocean without shores or lighthouse, strewn with many a philosophic wreck.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Religion is too important a matter to its devotees to be a subject of ridicule. If they indulge in absurdities, they are to be pitied rather than ridiculed.
Immanuel Kant
Image
From such crooked wood as that which man is made of, nothing straight can be fashioned.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Always regard every man as an end in himself, and never use him merely as a means to your ends [i.e., respect that each person has a life and purpose that is their own do not treat people as objects to be exploited].
Immanuel Kant
Image
The question is not so much whether there is life on Mars as whether it will continue to be possible to live on Earth
Immanuel Kant
Image
Even philosophers will praise war as ennobling mankind, forgetting the Greek who said: 'War is bad in that it begets more evil than it kills.'
