Immanuel Kant
Image
We ourselves introduce that order and regularity in the appearance which we entitle nature. We could never find them in appearances had we not ourselves, by the nature of our own mind, originally set them there.
Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant
Image
I shall never forget my mother, for it was she who planted and nurtured the first seeds of good within me. She opened my heart to the lasting impressions of nature she awakened my understanding and extended my horizon and her percepts exerted an everlasting influence upon the course of my life.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The only thing permanent is change.
Immanuel Kant

If justice perishes, human life on Earth has lost its meaning.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Metaphysics is a dark ocean without shores or lighthouse, strewn with many a philosophic wreck.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Do what is right, though the world may perish.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Happiness, though an indefinite concept, is the goal of all rational beings
Immanuel Kant
