More quotes by Immanuel Kant

Image
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
Image
The ideal of the supreme being is nothing but a regulative principle of reason which directs us to look upon all connection in the world as if it originated from an all-sufficient necessary cause.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Always treat people as ends in themselves, never as means to an end.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Do what is right, though the world may perish.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Man relates to material things through direct insight rather than reason.
Immanuel Kant
Image
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
Image
All natural capacities of a creature are destined to evolve completely to their natural end.
Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant
Image
Three things tell a man: his eyes, his friends and his favorite quotes
Immanuel Kant
Image
The sceptics, a kind of nomads, despising all settled culture of the land, broke up from time to time all civil society. Fortunately their number was small, and they could not prevent the old settlers from returning to cultivate the ground afresh, though without any fixed plan or agreement.
Immanuel Kant
Image
We are not rich by what we possess but by what we can do without.
Immanuel Kant
Image
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
Image
Happiness, though an indefinite concept, is the goal of all rational beings
Immanuel Kant
Image
Reason can never prove the existence of God.
Immanuel Kant
Image
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
Image
From such crooked wood as that which man is made of, nothing straight can be fashioned.
Immanuel Kant
Image
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
Image
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
Image
One who makes himself a worm cannot complain afterwards if people step on him.
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
