More quotes by Immanuel Kant
Philosophy stands in need of a science which shall determine the possibility, principles, and extent of human knowledge à priori.
Immanuel Kant
Reason can never prove the existence of God.
Immanuel Kant
For how is it possible, says that acute man, that when a concept is given me, I can go beyond it and connect with it another which is not contained in it, in such a manner as if that latter necessarily belonged to the former?
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
Each according to his own way of seeing things, seek one goal, that is gratification.
Immanuel Kant
Humanity is at its greatest perfection in the race of the whites.
Immanuel Kant
I ought never to act except in such a way that I could also will that my maxim should become a universal law.
Immanuel Kant
I am myself by inclination an investigator.
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
Even philosophers will praise war as ennobling mankind, forgetting the Greek who said: 'War is bad in that it begets more evil than it kills.'
Immanuel Kant
Do what is right, though the world may perish.
Immanuel Kant
Standing armies shall in time be totally abolished.
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
Riches ennoble a man's circumstances, but not himself.
Immanuel Kant
No state at war with another state should engage in hostilities of such a kind as to render mutual confidence impossible when peace will have been made.
Immanuel Kant
Dare to know! Have the courage to use your own intelligence!
Immanuel Kant
Happiness, though an indefinite concept, is the goal of all rational beings
Immanuel Kant
Of all the arts poetry (which owes its origin almost entirely to genius and will least be guided by precept or example) maintains the first rank.
Immanuel Kant
Always treat people as ends in themselves, never as means to an end.
Immanuel Kant
You only know me as you see me, not as I actually am
Immanuel Kant
