About This Quote

The old adage "State first, subject second, statesman last," was originally popularized by the German philosopher Immanuel Kant, who said that a king should think of his people before thinking of his own selfish concerns. The idea was that if a leader placed his own personal belief system above his country's needs, the nation would suffer. It is easy to see how this could be true in the modern day world, where we seem obsessed with the need to be like everyone else and to look and act like we fit in. This quote is a reminder for us to remember our responsibilities to others and to society at large.
