More quotes by Immanuel Kant
Three things tell a man: his eyes, his friends and his favorite quotes
Immanuel Kant
Aristotle can be regarded as the father of logic. But his logic is too scholastic, full of subtleties, and fundamentally has not been of much value to the human understanding. It is a dialectic and an organon for the art of disputation.
Immanuel Kant
The busier we are, the more acutely we feel that we live, the more conscious we are of life.
Immanuel Kant
All natural capacities of a creature are destined to evolve completely to their natural end.
Immanuel Kant
One who makes himself a worm cannot complain afterwards if people step on him.
Immanuel Kant
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
Ingratitude is the essence of vileness.
Immanuel Kant
It is by his activities and not by enjoyment that man feels he is alive. In idleness we not only feel that life is fleeting, but we also feel lifeless.
Immanuel Kant
Reason in a creature is a faculty of widening the rules and purposes of the use of all its powers far beyond natural instinct it acknowledges no limits to its projects. Reason itself does not work instinctively, but requires trial, practice, and instruction in order gradually to progress from one level of insight to another.
Immanuel Kant
In the natural state no concept of God can arise, and the false one which one makes for himself is harmful. Hence the theory of natural religion can be true only where there is no science therefore it cannot bind all men together.
Immanuel Kant
Honesty is better than any policy.
Immanuel Kant
But a lie is a lie, and in itself intrinsically evil, whether it be told with good or bad intents.
Immanuel Kant
There is nothing higher than reason.
Immanuel Kant
The only thing that is good without qualification is a good will.
Immanuel Kant
Innocence is indeed a glorious thing but, unfortunately, it does not keep very well and is easily led astray.
Immanuel Kant
If education is to develop human nature so that it may attain the object of its being, it must involve the exercise of judgment.
Immanuel Kant
Law And Freedom without Violence (Anarchy) Law And Violence without Freedom (Despotism) Violence without Freedom And Law (Barbarism) Violence with Freedom And Law (Republic)
Immanuel Kant
It is not God's will merely that we should be happy, but that we should make ourselves happy
Immanuel Kant
Riches ennoble a man's circumstances, but not himself.
Immanuel Kant
Each according to his own way of seeing things, seek one goal, that is gratification.
Immanuel Kant
