More Quotes from Immanuel Kant:
It is beyond a doubt that all our knowledge that begins with experience.Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant
Have patience awhile slanders are not long-lived. Truth is the child of time ere long she shall appear to vindicate thee.
Immanuel Kant
But where only a free play of our presentational powers is to be sustained as in the case of pleasure gardens, room decoration, all sorts of useful utensils, and so on, any regularity that has an air of constraint is to be avoided as much as possible. That is why the English taste in gardens, or the baroque taste in furniture, carries the imagination's freedom very far, even to the verge of the grotesque, because it is precisely this divorce from any constraint of a rule that the case is posited where taste can show its greatest perfection in designs made by the imagination.
Immanuel Kant
There is ... but one categorical imperative Act only on that maxim whereby thou canst at the same time will that it should become a universal law.
Immanuel Kant
