More quotes by Immanuel Kant

Image
I shall never forget my mother, for it was she who planted and nurtured the first seeds of good within me. She opened my heart to the lasting impressions of nature she awakened my understanding and extended my horizon and her percepts exerted an everlasting influence upon the course of my life.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The light dove, cleaving the air in her free flight, and feeling its resistance, might imagine that its flight would be still easier in empty space.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the oftener and more steadily we reflect on them: the starry heavens above and the moral law within.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Ghost stories are always listened to and well received in private, but pitilessly disavowed in public. For my own part, ignorant as I am of the way in which the human spirit enters the world and the way in which he goes out of it, I dare not deny the truth of many such narratives.
Immanuel Kant

Our intellect does not draw its laws from nature, but it imposes its laws upon nature.
Immanuel Kant
Image
There can be no doubt that all our knowledge begins with experience.
Immanuel Kant
Image
All appearances are real and negatio sophistical: All reality must be sensation.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The only thing that is good without qualification is a good will.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Perpetual Peace is only found in the graveyard.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The infinitude of creation is great enough to make a world, or a Milky Way of worlds, look in comparison with it what a flower or an insect does in comparison with the Earth.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Prudence approaches, conscience accuses.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The only objects of practical reason are therefore those of good and evil. For by the former is meant an object necessarily desired according to a principle of reason by the latter one necessarily shunned, also according to a principle of reason.
Immanuel Kant
Image
I learned to honor human beings, and I would find myself far more useless than the common laborer if I did not believe that this consideration could impart to all others a value establishing the rights of humanity.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Act so that the maxim of your act could be made the principle of a universal law.
Immanuel Kant
