All thought must, directly or indirectly, by way of certain characters, relate ultimately to intuitions, and therefore, with us, to sensibility, because in no other way can an object be given to us.

More quotes by Immanuel Kant
Through laziness and cowardice a large part of mankind, even after nature has freed them from alien guidance, gladly remain immature. It is because of laziness and cowardice that it is so easy for others to usurp the role of guardians. It is so comfortable to be a minor!
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
Fallacious and misleading arguments are most easily detected if set out in correct syllogistic form.
Immanuel Kant
Standing armies shall in time be totally abolished.
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 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.
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
What can I know? What ought I to do? What may I hope?
Immanuel Kant
Intuition and concepts constitute... the elements of all our knowledge, so that neither concepts without an intuition in some way corresponding to them, nor intuition without concepts, can yield knowledge.
Immanuel Kant
Freedom is the alone unoriginated birthright of man, and belongs to him by force of his humanity.
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
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
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
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
Happiness, though an indefinite concept, is the goal of all rational beings
Immanuel Kant
The enjoyment of power inevitably corrupts the judgment of reason, and perverts its liberty.
Immanuel Kant
Immaturity is the incapacity to use one's intelligence without the guidance of another.
Immanuel Kant
Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play.
Immanuel Kant
Always recognize that human individuals are ends, and do not use them as means to your end.
Immanuel Kant
From such crooked wood as that which man is made of, nothing straight can be fashioned.
Immanuel Kant
