More From Immanuel Kant

Organize your reality according to your strength; organize your reality according to your playfulness; according to your dreams; according to your joy; according to your hopes - and then you can help those who organize their reality according to their fears.
Dream Reality Joy
The terminology of philosophical art is coercive: arguments are powerful and best when they are knockdown, arguments force you to a conclusion, if you believe the premisses you have to or must believe the conclusion, some arguments do not carry much punch, and so forth. a philosophical argument is an attempt to get someone to believe something, whether he wants to beleive it or not. a successful philosophical argument, a strong argument, forces someone to a belief.
Art Strong Powerful
In the first place a philosophical proposition must be general. it must not deal specially with things on the surface of the earth, or within the solar system, or with any other portion of space and time. . . . this brings us to a second characteristic of philosophical propositions, namely that they must be a priori. a philosophical proposition must be such as can neither be proved nor disproved by empirical evidence. . . . philosophy, if what has been said is correct, becomes indistinguishable from logic as that word has now come to be used.

If i were a factory employee, a workman on the railroads or a wage-earner of any sort, i would undoubtedly join the union of my trade. if i disapproved of its policy, i would join in order to fight that policy; if the union leaders were dishonest, i would join in order to put them out. i believe in the union and i believe that all men who are benefited by the union are morally bound to help to the extent of their power in the common interests advanced by the union.
Believe Fighting Men
The attempt to live that way, the attempt to treat everybody - it fails all the time - but the attempt to treat people as equals is a good attempt. it's a very good attempt. and there have been very few governments that have come anywhere near it in the past. the greeks began to, the romans began to - they both failed.
Past Government People
My paramount object in this struggle is to save the union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. if i could save the union without freeing any slave i would do it, and if i could save it by freeing all the slaves i would do it; and if i could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone i would also do that. what i do about slavery, and the colored race, i do because i believe it helps to save the union; and what i forbear, i forbear because i do not believe it would help to save the union.

I will frankly confess that after passing a few weeks in the valley of the marquesas, i formed a higher estimate of human nature than i had ever before entertained. but, alas, since then i have been one of the crew of a man-of- war, and the pent-up wickedness of five hundred men has nearly overturned all my previous theories.

One who has loved truly, can never lose entirely. love is whimsical and temperamental. its nature is ephemeral, and transitory. it comes when it pleases,and goes away without warning. accept and enjoy it while it remains, but spend no time worrying about its departure. worry will never bring it back.
Love Is Worry Warning
Inaction is cowardice, but there can be no scholar without the heroic mind.
Mind Heroic Cowardice
The old saying that war is a racket has taken on an even more shameful meaning.
