Live your life as though your every act were to become a universal law.
From Immanuel Kant
A categorical imperative would be one which represented an action as objectively necessary in itself, without reference to any other purpose.
It is not necessary that whilst I live I live happily; but it is necessary that so long as I live I should live honourably.
To be is to do.
If man makes himself a worm he must not complain when he is trodden on.
It is beyond a doubt that all our knowledge begins with experience.
Two things awe me most, the starry sky above me and the moral law within me.
I had therefore to remove knowledge, in order to make room for belief.
Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.
Seek not the favor of the multitude; it is seldom got by honest and lawful means. But seek the testimony of few; and number not voices, but weigh them.
