Immanuel Kant, The Critique of Pure Reason ,
translated by Norman Kemp Smith,
London, Macmillan, 1929, p. 92 —

"Without sensibility no object 
would be given to us, 
without reflection no object 
would be thought.
Concepts without percepts are empty,
percepts without concepts are blind.
"

Another version

"Without sensibility no object
would be given to us,
without understanding no object
would be thought.
Thoughts without content are empty,
intuitions without concepts are blind.
"

From the original —

"Ohne Sinnlichkeit würde uns
kein Gegenstand gegeben,
und ohne Verstand
keiner gedacht werden.
Gedanken ohne Inhalt sind leer,
Anschauungen ohne Begriffe sind blind.
"

 Immanuel Kant 

Kritik der reinen Vernunft
   I. Transzendentale Elementarlehre
      Zweiter Teil. Die transzendentale Logik
          Einleitung. Idee einer transzendentalen Logik
