Immanuel Kant
The hand is the visible part of the brain.
Immanuel Kant
Immaturity is the incapacity to use one's intelligence without the guidance of another.
Immanuel Kant
Metaphysics is a dark ocean without shores or lighthouse, strewn with many a philosophic wreck.
Immanuel Kant
When a thoughtful human being has overcome incentives to vice and is aware of having done his bitter duty, he finds himself in a state that could be called happiness, a state of contentment and peace of mind in which virtue is its own reward.
Immanuel Kant
Standing armies shall in time be totally abolished.
Immanuel Kant
The business of philosophy is not to give rules, but to analyze the private judgments of common reason.
Immanuel Kant
The light dove, cleaving the air in her free flight, and feeling its resistance, might imagine that its flight would be still easier in empty space.
Immanuel Kant
