Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) - German philosopher from the Prussian city of Königsberg. He published important works on science, religion, law, and history, believing himself to be creating a compromise between empiricism and rationalism (simply put - experience and reason combined rather than being each other 'opposites').
"There can be no doubt that all our knowledge begins with experience."
"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."
"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."
"Everything good that is not based on a morally good disposition, however, is nothing but pretense and glittering misery."
"Live your life as though your every act were to become a universal law."
- Immanuel Kant
