Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant
All the interests of my reason, speculative as well as practical, combine in the three following questions: 1. What can I know? 2. What ought I to do? 3. What may I hope?
Immanuel Kant
Ingratitude is the essence of vileness.
Immanuel Kant
Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind.
Immanuel Kant
Every human being should always be treated as an end and never as a mere instrument.

Immanuel Kant
Maximum individuality within maximum community
Immanuel Kant
It is difficult for the isolated individual to work himself out of the immaturity which has become almost natural for him.
Immanuel Kant
The history of the human race, viewed as a whole, may be regarded as the realization of a hidden plan of nature to bring about a political constitution, internally, and for this purpose, also externally perfect, as the only state in which all the capacities implanted by her in mankind can be fully developed.
Immanuel Kant
Honesty is better than any policy.
Immanuel Kant
Three things tell a man: his eyes, his friends and his favorite quotes
