More quotes by Immanuel Kant
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
Upon the solution of this problem, or upon sufficient proof of the impossibility of synthetical knowledge a priori, depends the existence or downfall of metaphysics.
Immanuel Kant
Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind... The understanding can intuit nothing, the senses can think nothing. Only through their union can knowledge arise.
Immanuel Kant
The only thing permanent is change.
Immanuel Kant
Prudence reproaches conscience accuses.
Immanuel Kant
Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play.
Immanuel Kant
Happiness is not an ideal of reason, but of imagination.
Immanuel Kant
Always recognize that human individuals are ends, and do not use them as means to your end.
Immanuel Kant
The busier we are, the more acutely we feel that we live, the more conscious we are of life.
Immanuel Kant
Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.
Immanuel Kant
In the mere concept of one thing it cannot be found any character of its existence.
Immanuel Kant
Man's greatest concern is to know how he shall properly fill his place in the universe and correctly understand what he must be in order to be a man.
Immanuel Kant
There is a limit where the intellect fails and breaks down, and this limit is where the questions concerning God and freewill and immortality arise.
Immanuel Kant
The sum total of all possible knowledge of God is not possible for a human being, not even through a true revelation. But it is one of the worthiest inquiries to see how far our reason can go in the knowledge of God.
Immanuel Kant
Seek not the favor of the multitude it is seldom got by honest and lawful means. But seek the testimony of few and number not voices, but weigh them.
Immanuel Kant
Immaturity is the incapacity to use one's intelligence without the guidance of another.
Immanuel Kant
Man relates to material things through direct insight rather than reason.
Immanuel Kant
The only thing that is good without qualification is a good will.
Immanuel Kant
We ourselves introduce that order and regularity in the appearance which we entitle nature. We could never find them in appearances had we not ourselves, by the nature of our own mind, originally set them there.
Immanuel Kant
I am an investigator by inclination. I feel a great thirst for knowledge.
Immanuel Kant
