Riches ennoble a man's circumstances, but not himself.
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
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
Image
God put a secret art into the forces of Nature so as to enable it to fashion itself out of chaos into a perfect world system.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Heaven has given human beings three things to balance the odds of life: hope, sleep, and laughter.

Immanuel Kant
Image
Standing armies shall in time be totally abolished.
Immanuel Kant

If education is to develop human nature so that it may attain the object of its being, it must involve the exercise of judgment.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The universal and lasting establishment of peace constitutes not merely a part, but the whole final purpose and end of the science of right as viewed within the limits of reason.
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
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
The business of philosophy is not to give rules, but to analyze the private judgments of common reason.
Immanuel Kant
Image
One who makes himself a worm cannot complain afterwards if people step on him.
Immanuel Kant
Image
I had therefore to remove knowledge, in order to make room for belief.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The means employed by Nature to bring about the development of all the capacities of men is their antagonism in society, so far as this is, in the end, the cause of a lawful order among men.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Why were a few, or a single one, made at all, if only to exist in order to be made eternally miserable, which is infinitely worse than non-existence?
Immanuel Kant
Image
The only objects of practical reason are therefore those of good and evil. For by the former is meant an object necessarily desired according to a principle of reason by the latter one necessarily shunned, also according to a principle of reason.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Religion is the recognition of all our duties as divine commands.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Philosophical knowledge is the knowledge gained by reason from concepts mathematical knowledge is the knowledge gained by reason from the construction of concepts.
