More quotes by Immanuel Kant
All natural capacities of a creature are destined to evolve completely to their natural end.
Immanuel Kant
Perpetual Peace is only found in the graveyard.
Immanuel Kant
The sum total of all possible knowledge of God is not possible for a human being, not even through a true revelation. But it is one of the worthiest inquiries to see how far our reason can go in the knowledge of God.
Immanuel Kant
Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind.
Immanuel Kant
Humanity is at its greatest perfection in the race of the whites.
Immanuel Kant
We are not rich by what we possess but by what we can do without.
Immanuel Kant
We can never, even by the strictest examination, get completely behind the secret springs of action.
Immanuel Kant
Always regard every man as an end in himself, and never use him merely as a means to your ends [i.e., respect that each person has a life and purpose that is their own do not treat people as objects to be exploited].
Immanuel Kant
Dare to know! Have the courage to use your own intelligence!

Immanuel Kant
Maturity is having the courage to use one's own intelligence!
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
Even a man's exact imitation of the song of the nightingale displeases us when we discover that it is a mimicry, and not the nightingale.
Immanuel Kant
I freely admit that the remembrance of David Hume was the very thing that many years ago first interrupted my dogmatic slumber and gave a completely different direction to my researches in the field of speculative philosophy.
Immanuel Kant
Perhaps a revolution can overthrow autocratic despotism and profiteering or power-grabbing oppression, but it can never truly reform a manner of thinking instead, new prejudices, just like the old ones they replace, will serve as a leash for the great unthinking mass.
Immanuel Kant
Man's greatest concern is to know how he shall properly fill his place in the universe and correctly understand what he must be in order to be a man.
Immanuel Kant
Upon the solution of this problem, or upon sufficient proof of the impossibility of synthetical knowledge a priori, depends the existence or downfall of metaphysics.
Immanuel Kant
The schematicism by which our understanding deals with the phenomenal world ... is a skill so deeply hidden in the human soul that we shall hardly guess the secret trick that Nature here employs.
Immanuel Kant
