Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant
Do the right thing because it is right.
Immanuel Kant
All trades, arts, and handiworks have gained by division of labor... Where the different kinds of work are not distinguished and divided, where everyone is a jack-of-all-trades, there manufactures remain still in the greatest barbarism.
Immanuel Kant
I am an investigator by inclination. I feel a great thirst for knowledge.
Immanuel Kant
Maturity is having the courage to use one's own intelligence!
Immanuel Kant
Thrift is care and scruple in the spending of one's means. It is not a virtue and it requires neither skill nor talent.
Immanuel Kant
The greatest problem for the human species, the solution of which nature compels him to seek, is that of attaining a civil society which can administer justice universally.
Immanuel Kant
