The business of philosophy is not to give rules, but to analyze the private judgments of common reason.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Suicide is not abominable because God prohibits it God prohibits it because it is abominable.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.
Immanuel Kant
Image
cruelty to animals is contrary to man's duty to himself, because it deadens in him the feeling of sympathy for their sufferings, and thus a natural tendency that is very useful to morality in relation to other human beings is weakened.
Immanuel Kant
Image
In the mere concept of one thing it cannot be found any character of its existence.
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

Maturity is having the courage to use one's own intelligence!
Immanuel Kant
Image
The more we come in contact with animals and observe their behaviour, the more we love them, for we see how great is their care of the young.

I am an investigator by inclination. I feel a great thirst for knowledge.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The history of the human race, viewed as a whole, may be regarded as the realization of a hidden plan of nature to bring about a political constitution, internally, and for this purpose, also externally perfect, as the only state in which all the capacities implanted by her in mankind can be fully developed.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Riches ennoble a man's circumstances, but not himself.
Immanuel Kant
Image
From such crooked wood as that which man is made of, nothing straight can be fashioned.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Human reason is by nature architectonic.
Immanuel Kant
Image
It is the Land of Truth (enchanted name!), surrounded by a wide and stormy ocean, the true home of illusion, where many a fog bank and ice, that soon melts away, tempt us to believe in new lands, while constantly deceiving the adventurous mariner with vain hopes, and involving him in adventures which he can never leave, yet never bring to an end.
Immanuel Kant
Image
I ought never to act except in such a way that I could also will that my maxim should become a universal law.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind.
