Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind.
From Immanuel Kant
It is not God's will merely that we should be happy, but that we should make ourselves happy.
He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.
Morality is not the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.
Even philosophers will praise war as ennobling mankind, forgetting the Greek who said: 'War is bad in that it begets more evil than it kills.'
May you live your life as if the maxim of your actions were to become universal law.
In law a man is guilty when he violates the rights of others. In ethics he is guilty if he only thinks of doing so.
Always recognize that human individuals are ends, and do not use them as means to your end.
What can I know? What ought I to do? What can I hope?
Out of timber so crooked as that from which man is made nothing entirely straight can be carved.
