More quotes by Immanuel Kant
Act so as to use humanity, yourself and others, always as an end and never as a means to an end.
Immanuel Kant
I am myself by inclination an investigator.
Immanuel Kant
Space and time are the framework within which the mind is constrained to construct its experience of reality.
Immanuel Kant
Always recognize that human individuals are ends, and do not use them as means to your end.
Immanuel Kant
There is a limit where the intellect fails and breaks down, and this limit is where the questions concerning God and freewill and immortality arise.
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
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
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
We ourselves introduce that order and regularity in the appearance which we entitle nature. We could never find them in appearances had we not ourselves, by the nature of our own mind, originally set them there.
Immanuel Kant
A man who has tasted with profound enjoyment the pleasure of agreeable society will eat with a greater appetite than he who rode horseback for two hours. An amusing lecture is as useful for health as the exercise of the body.
Immanuel Kant
It is not God's will merely that we should be happy, but that we should make ourselves happy
Immanuel Kant
Always treat people as ends in themselves, never as means to an end.
Immanuel Kant
We find that the more a cultivated reason devotes itself to the aim of enjoying life and happiness, the further does man get away from true contentment.
Immanuel Kant
You only know me as you see me, not as I actually am
Immanuel Kant
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
Religion is the recognition of all our duties as divine commands.
Immanuel Kant
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
Man relates to material things through direct insight rather than reason.
Immanuel Kant
What can I know? What ought I to do? What may I hope?
Immanuel Kant
