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
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
There is nothing higher than reason.
Immanuel Kant
Image
All human knowledge begins with intuitions, proceeds from thence to concepts, and ends with ideas.
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
I learned to honor human beings, and I would find myself far more useless than the common laborer if I did not believe that this consideration could impart to all others a value establishing the rights of humanity.
Immanuel Kant
Image
One who makes himself a worm cannot complain afterwards if people step on him.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Ingratitude is the essence of vileness.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Our intellect does not draw its laws from nature, but it imposes its laws upon nature.
Immanuel Kant
Image
It is difficult for the isolated individual to work himself out of the immaturity which has become almost natural for him.
Immanuel Kant
