Quote

I shall never forget my mother, for it was she who planted and nurtured the first seeds of good within me. She opened my heart to the lasting impressions of nature she awakened my understanding and extended my horizon and her percepts exerted an everlasting influence upon the course of my life.

More quotes by Immanuel Kant

Image
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
Image
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
Image
Human reason is by nature architectonic.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Aristotle can be regarded as the father of logic. But his logic is too scholastic, full of subtleties, and fundamentally has not been of much value to the human understanding. It is a dialectic and an organon for the art of disputation.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Intuition and concepts constitute... the elements of all our knowledge, so that neither concepts without an intuition in some way corresponding to them, nor intuition without concepts, can yield knowledge.
Immanuel Kant
Image
There is needed, no doubt, a body of servants (ministerium) of the invisible church, but not officials (officiales), in other words, teachers but not dignitaries, because in the rational religion of every individual there does not yet exist a church as a universal union (omnitudo collectiva).
Immanuel Kant
Image
An action is essentially good if the motive of the agent be good, regardless of the consequences.
Immanuel Kant
Image
We are not rich by what we possess but by what we can do without.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Metaphysics is a dark ocean without shores or lighthouse, strewn with many a philosophic wreck.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Rules for Happiness: something to do, someone to love, something to hope for.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The hand is the visible part of the brain.
Immanuel Kant
Image
I had therefore to remove knowledge, in order to make room for belief.
Immanuel Kant
Image
But a lie is a lie, and in itself intrinsically evil, whether it be told with good or bad intents.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Ghost stories are always listened to and well received in private, but pitilessly disavowed in public. For my own part, ignorant as I am of the way in which the human spirit enters the world and the way in which he goes out of it, I dare not deny the truth of many such narratives.
Immanuel Kant
Image
From such crooked wood as that which man is made of, nothing straight can be fashioned.
Immanuel Kant
Image
All human knowledge begins with intuitions, proceeds from thence to concepts, and ends with ideas.
Immanuel Kant
Image
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
Image
Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.
Immanuel Kant
Image
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
