Immanuel Kant — Critique of Pure Reason — "Being is not a real predicate"

“Being is evidently not a real predicate, that is, a conception of something which is added to the conception of some other thing … Thus the real contains no more than the possible. A hundred real dollars contain no more than a hundred possible dollars.”
