More quotes by Immanuel Kant
The ideal of the supreme being is nothing but a regulative principle of reason which directs us to look upon all connection in the world as if it originated from an all-sufficient necessary cause.
Immanuel Kant
But although all our knowledge begins with experience, it does not follow that it arises from experience.
Immanuel Kant
Always recognize that human individuals are ends, and do not use them as means to your end.
Immanuel Kant
Every human being should always be treated as an end and never as a mere instrument.
Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant
Freedom is the alone unoriginated birthright of man, and belongs to him by force of his humanity and is independence on the will and co-action of every other in so far as this consists with every other person's freedom.
Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant
Prudence approaches, conscience accuses.
Immanuel Kant
An action, to have moral worth, must be done from duty.
Immanuel Kant
Physicians think they are doing something for you by labeling what you have as a disease
Immanuel Kant
Humanity is at its greatest perfection in the race of the whites.
Immanuel Kant
The greatest problem for the human species, the solution of which nature compels him to seek, is that of attaining a civil society which can administer justice universally.
Immanuel Kant
God put a secret art into the forces of Nature so as to enable it to fashion itself out of chaos into a perfect world system.
Immanuel Kant
Nothing is divine but what is agreeable to reason.
Immanuel Kant
The wish to talk to God is absurd. We cannot talk to one we cannot comprehend — and we cannot comprehend God we can only believe in Him.
Immanuel Kant
Perhaps a revolution can overthrow autocratic despotism and profiteering or power-grabbing oppression, but it can never truly reform a manner of thinking instead, new prejudices, just like the old ones they replace, will serve as a leash for the great unthinking mass.
