More quotes by Immanuel Kant
Always treat people as ends in themselves, never as means to an end.
Immanuel Kant
A man who has tasted with profound enjoyment the pleasure of agreeable society will eat with a greater appetite than he who rode horseback for two hours. An amusing lecture is as useful for health as the exercise of the body.
Immanuel Kant
It is not God's will merely that we should be happy, but that we should make ourselves happy
Immanuel Kant
An action is essentially good if the motive of the agent be good, regardless of the consequences.
Immanuel Kant
There can be no doubt that all our knowledge begins with experience.
Immanuel Kant
Religion is the recognition of all our duties as divine commands.
Immanuel Kant
Things which we see are not by themselves what we see ... It remains completely unknown to us what the objects may be by themselves and apart from the receptivity of our senses. We know nothing but our manner of perceiving them.
Immanuel Kant
Standing armies shall in time be totally abolished.
Immanuel Kant
Do the right thing because it is right.
Immanuel Kant
Philosophy stands in need of a science which shall determine the possibility, principles, and extent of human knowledge à priori.
Immanuel Kant
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
Religion is too important a matter to its devotees to be a subject of ridicule. If they indulge in absurdities, they are to be pitied rather than ridiculed.
Immanuel Kant
[R]eason is... given to us as a practical faculty, that is, as one that influences the will.
Immanuel Kant
Freedom in the practical sense is the independence of the power of choice from necessitation by impulses of sensibility
Immanuel Kant
The business of philosophy is not to give rules, but to analyze the private judgments of common reason.
Immanuel Kant
The wish to talk to God is absurd. We cannot talk to one we cannot comprehend — and we cannot comprehend God we can only believe in Him.
Immanuel Kant
Our intellect does not draw its laws from nature, but it imposes its laws upon nature.
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
Humanity is at its greatest perfection in the race of the whites.
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
