The enjoyment of power inevitably corrupts the judgment of reason, and perverts its liberty.
Immanuel Kant

Immaturity is the incapacity to use one's intelligence without the guidance of another.
Immanuel Kant

Three things tell a man: his eyes, his friends and his favorite quotes
Immanuel Kant
Image
There will always be some people who think for themselves, even among the self-appointed guardians of the great mass who, after having thrown off the yoke of immaturity themselves, will spread about them the spirit of a reasonable estimate of their own value and of the need for every man to think for himself.
Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant
Image
Always regard every man as an end in himself, and never use him merely as a means to your ends [i.e., respect that each person has a life and purpose that is their own do not treat people as objects to be exploited].
Immanuel Kant
Image
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
Image
Riches ennoble a man's circumstances, but not himself.
Immanuel Kant
Image

Immanuel Kant
Image
Innocence is indeed a glorious thing but, unfortunately, it does not keep very well and is easily led astray.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Philosophy stands in need of a science which shall determine the possibility, principles, and extent of human knowledge à priori.
Immanuel Kant
Image
One who makes himself a worm cannot complain afterwards if people step on him.
Immanuel Kant
Image
It is the Land of Truth (enchanted name!), surrounded by a wide and stormy ocean, the true home of illusion, where many a fog bank and ice, that soon melts away, tempt us to believe in new lands, while constantly deceiving the adventurous mariner with vain hopes, and involving him in adventures which he can never leave, yet never bring to an end.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The only thing that is good without qualification is a good will.
Immanuel Kant
