Immanuel Kant
Everything in nature acts in conformity with law.
Immanuel Kant
What can I know? What ought I to do? What may I hope?
Immanuel Kant
There will always be some people who think for themselves, even among the self-appointed guardians of the great mass who, after having thrown off the yoke of immaturity themselves, will spread about them the spirit of a reasonable estimate of their own value and of the need for every man to think for himself.
Immanuel Kant
