Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play.
Immanuel Kant
I ought never to act except in such a way that I could also will that my maxim should become a universal law.
Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant
Every human being should always be treated as an end and never as a mere instrument.

Immanuel Kant
