There can be nothing more dreadful than that the actions of a man should be subject to the will of another. Kant
A woman narrows a man's heart. The marriage of a friend usually means the loss of a friend. Kant Remarks
“War itself, provided it is conducted with order and a sacred respect for the rights of civilians, has something sublime about it, and gives nations that carry it on in such a manner a stamp of mind only the more sublime the more numerous the dangers to which they are exposed, and which they are able to meet with fortitude. On the other hand, a prolonged peace favours the predominance of a mere commercial spirit, and with it a debasing self-interest, cowardice, and effeminacy, and tends to degrade the character of the nation.” Kant
