More quotes by Immanuel Kant

Image
Space and time are the framework within which the mind is constrained to construct its experience of reality.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.
Immanuel Kant
Image
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
Image
Three things tell a man: his eyes, his friends and his favorite quotes
Immanuel Kant
Image
Man desired concord but nature knows better what is good for his species she desires discord. Man wants to live easy and content but nature compels him to leave ease... and throw himself into roils and labors.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Arrogance is, as it were, a solicitation on the part of one seeking honor for followers, whom he thinks he is entitled to treat with contempt.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Heaven has given human beings three things to balance the odds of life: hope, sleep, and laughter.
Immanuel Kant
Image
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
Image
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
Image
If I am to constrain you by any law, it must be one by which I am also bound.
Immanuel Kant
Image
There can be no doubt that all our knowledge begins with experience.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Freedom is the alone unoriginated birthright of man, and belongs to him by force of his humanity and is independence on the will and co-action of every other in so far as this consists with every other person's freedom.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Our intellect does not draw its laws from nature, but it imposes its laws upon nature.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Always recognize that human individuals are ends, and do not use them as means to your end.
Immanuel Kant
Image
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
Image
Act so that the maxim of your act could be made the principle of a universal law.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Nothing is divine but what is agreeable to reason.
Immanuel Kant
Image
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
Image
Act so as to use humanity, yourself and others, always as an end and never as a means to an end.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Aristotle can be regarded as the father of logic. But his logic is too scholastic, full of subtleties, and fundamentally has not been of much value to the human understanding. It is a dialectic and an organon for the art of disputation.
