What can I know? What ought I to do? What may I hope?
Immanuel Kant
Image
The only thing permanent is change.
Immanuel Kant
Image
It is the Land of Truth (enchanted name!), surrounded by a wide and stormy ocean, the true home of illusion, where many a fog bank and ice, that soon melts away, tempt us to believe in new lands, while constantly deceiving the adventurous mariner with vain hopes, and involving him in adventures which he can never leave, yet never bring to an end.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Human reason is by nature architectonic.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The light dove, cleaving the air in her free flight, and feeling its resistance, might imagine that its flight would be still easier in empty space.

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
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
Always recognize that human individuals are ends, and do not use them as means to your end.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Life is the faculty of spontaneous activity, the awareness that we have powers.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The inscrutable wisdom through which we exist is not less worthy of veneration in respect to what it denies us than in respect to what it has granted.
Immanuel Kant
Image
It is often necessary to make a decision on the basis of knowledge sufficient for action but insufficient to satisfy the intellect.
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
For how is it possible, says that acute man, that when a concept is given me, I can go beyond it and connect with it another which is not contained in it, in such a manner as if that latter necessarily belonged to the former?
