More quotes by Immanuel Kant
I am myself by inclination an investigator.
Immanuel Kant
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
Dare to know! Have the courage to use your own intelligence!
Immanuel Kant
Do the right thing because it is right.
Immanuel Kant
Honesty is better than any policy.
Immanuel Kant
Freedom is the alone unoriginated birthright of man, and belongs to him by force of his humanity and is independence on the will and co-action of every other in so far as this consists with every other person's freedom.
Immanuel Kant
We can never, even by the strictest examination, get completely behind the secret springs of action.
Immanuel Kant
Melancholy characterizes those with a superb sense of the sublime.
Immanuel Kant
Have patience awhile slanders are not long-lived. Truth is the child of time erelong she shall appear to vindicate thee.
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
The infinitude of creation is great enough to make a world, or a Milky Way of worlds, look in comparison with it what a flower or an insect does in comparison with the Earth.
Immanuel Kant
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
The schematicism by which our understanding deals with the phenomenal world ... is a skill so deeply hidden in the human soul that we shall hardly guess the secret trick that Nature here employs.
Immanuel Kant
Always treat people as ends in themselves, never as means to an end.
Immanuel Kant
In all judgements by which we describe anything as beautiful, we allow no one to be of another opinion.
Immanuel Kant
The hand is the visible part of the brain.
Immanuel Kant
Physicians think they are doing something for you by labeling what you have as a disease
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
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
The only thing that is good without qualification is a good will.
Immanuel Kant
