More quotes by Immanuel Kant
Humanity is at its greatest perfection in the race of the whites.
Immanuel Kant
The ultimate destiny of the human race is the greatest moral perfection, provided that it is achieved through human freedom, whereby alone man is capable of the greatest happiness.
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
The greatest human quest is to know what one must do in order to become a human being.
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
Act in such a way that you will be worthy of being happy.
Immanuel Kant
We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.
Immanuel Kant
The existence of the Bible, as a book for the people, is the greatest benefit which the human race has ever experienced. Every attempt to belittle it is a crime against humanity.
Immanuel Kant
Space and time are the framework within which the mind is constrained to construct its experience of reality.
Immanuel Kant
The question is not so much whether there is life on Mars as whether it will continue to be possible to live on Earth
Immanuel Kant
Heaven has given human beings three things to balance the odds of life: hope, sleep, and laughter.
Immanuel Kant
The nice thing about living in a small town is that when you don't know what you're doing, someone else does.
Immanuel Kant
A single line in the Bible has consoled me more than all the books I ever read besides.
Immanuel Kant
Freedom is independence of the compulsory will of another, and in so far as it tends to exist with the freedom of all according to a universal law, it is the one sole original inborn right belonging to every man in virtue of his humanity.
Immanuel Kant
From such crooked wood as that which man is made of, nothing straight can be fashioned.
Immanuel Kant
Without man and his potential for moral progress, the whole of reality would be a mere wilderness, a thing in vain, and have no final purpose.
Immanuel Kant
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
There will always be some people who think for themselves, even among the self-appointed guardians of the great mass who, after having thrown off the yoke of immaturity themselves, will spread about them the spirit of a reasonable estimate of their own value and of the need for every man to think for himself.
Immanuel Kant
Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law.
Immanuel Kant
There is something splendid about innocence but what is bad about it, in turn, is that it cannot protect itself very well and is easily seduced.
Immanuel Kant
