More quotes by Immanuel Kant
Man relates to material things through direct insight rather than reason.
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
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
Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind... The understanding can intuit nothing, the senses can think nothing. Only through their union can knowledge arise.
Immanuel Kant
Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the oftener and more steadily we reflect on them: the starry heavens above and the moral law within.
Immanuel Kant
Three things tell a man: his eyes, his friends and his favorite quotes
Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant
The history of the human race, viewed as a whole, may be regarded as the realization of a hidden plan of nature to bring about a political constitution, internally, and for this purpose, also externally perfect, as the only state in which all the capacities implanted by her in mankind can be fully developed.
Immanuel Kant
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
Rules for Happiness: something to do, someone to love, something to hope for.
Immanuel Kant
What can I know? What ought I to do? What may I hope?
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
Human freedom is realised in the adoption of humanity as an end in itself, for the one thing that no-one can be compelled to do by another is to adopt a particular end. - 'Metaphysical Principles of Virtue
Immanuel Kant
Maximum individuality within maximum community
Immanuel Kant
cruelty to animals is contrary to man's duty to himself, because it deadens in him the feeling of sympathy for their sufferings, and thus a natural tendency that is very useful to morality in relation to other human beings is weakened.
Immanuel Kant
Men will not understand ... that when they fulfil their duties to men, they fulfil thereby God's commandments that they are consequently always in the service of God, as long as their actions are moral, and that it is absolutely impossible to serve God otherwise.
Immanuel Kant
