"By a lie, a man... annihilates his dignity as a man"
- Immanuel Kant
About this Quote
This quote by Immanuel Kant suggests that when a private informs a lie, they destroy their own sense of self-respect and self-regard as a human. It suggests that the act of lying is inherently degrading to one's character and integrity, and that honesty is a fundamental part of being a virtuous and reputable individual.
"Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time"
