More quotes by Immanuel Kant
All appearances are real and negatio sophistical: All reality must be sensation.
Immanuel Kant
The greatest problem for the human species, the solution of which nature compels him to seek, is that of attaining a civil society which can administer justice universally.
Immanuel Kant
But although all our knowledge begins with experience, it does not follow that it arises from experience.
Immanuel Kant
Seek not the favor of the multitude it is seldom got by honest and lawful means. But seek the testimony of few and number not voices, but weigh them.
Immanuel Kant
Prudence approaches, conscience accuses.
Immanuel Kant
Reason can never prove the existence of God.
Immanuel Kant
Ghost stories are always listened to and well received in private, but pitilessly disavowed in public. For my own part, ignorant as I am of the way in which the human spirit enters the world and the way in which he goes out of it, I dare not deny the truth of many such narratives.
Immanuel Kant
An action is essentially good if the motive of the agent be good, regardless of the consequences.
Immanuel Kant
Philosophical knowledge is the knowledge gained by reason from concepts mathematical knowledge is the knowledge gained by reason from the construction of concepts.
Immanuel Kant
Perpetual Peace is only found in the graveyard.
Immanuel Kant
Act so that the maxim of your act could be made the principle of a universal law.
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
Thrift is care and scruple in the spending of one's means. It is not a virtue and it requires neither skill nor talent.
Immanuel Kant
He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.
Immanuel Kant
There is needed, no doubt, a body of servants (ministerium) of the invisible church, but not officials (officiales), in other words, teachers but not dignitaries, because in the rational religion of every individual there does not yet exist a church as a universal union (omnitudo collectiva).
Immanuel Kant
The infinitude of creation is great enough to make a world, or a Milky Way of worlds, look in comparison with it what a flower or an insect does in comparison with the Earth.
Immanuel Kant
The inscrutable wisdom through which we exist is not less worthy of veneration in respect to what it denies us than in respect to what it has granted.
Immanuel Kant
If I am to constrain you by any law, it must be one by which I am also bound.
Immanuel Kant
There is nothing higher than reason.
Immanuel Kant
Apart from moral conduct, all that man thinks himself able to do in order to become acceptable to God is mere superstition and religious folly.
Immanuel Kant
