Each according to his own way of seeing things, seek one goal, that is gratification.
Immanuel Kant
Image
But although all our knowledge begins with experience, it does not follow that it arises from experience.
Immanuel Kant

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

The ideal of the supreme being is nothing but a regulative principle of reason which directs us to look upon all connection in the world as if it originated from an all-sufficient necessary cause.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Man's greatest concern is to know how he shall properly fill his place in the universe and correctly understand what he must be in order to be a man.
Immanuel Kant
