More quotes by Immanuel Kant

Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the oftener and more steadily we reflect on them: the starry heavens above and the moral law within.
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
Innocence is indeed a glorious thing but, unfortunately, it does not keep very well and is easily led astray.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Act so as to use humanity, yourself and others, always as an end and never as a means to an end.
Immanuel Kant
Image

Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant
Image
Two things awe me most, the starry sky above me and the moral law within me.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The history of the human race, viewed as a whole, may be regarded as the realization of a hidden plan of nature to bring about a political constitution, internally, and for this purpose, also externally perfect, as the only state in which all the capacities implanted by her in mankind can be fully developed.
Immanuel Kant
Image

Three things tell a man: his eyes, his friends and his favorite quotes
Immanuel Kant
Image
Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Rules for Happiness: something to do, someone to love, something to hope for.
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
Image
Philosophical knowledge is the knowledge gained by reason from concepts mathematical knowledge is the knowledge gained by reason from the construction of concepts.
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
Metaphysics is a dark ocean without shores or lighthouse, strewn with many a philosophic wreck.
Immanuel Kant
Image
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
Image
cruelty to animals is contrary to man's duty to himself, because it deadens in him the feeling of sympathy for their sufferings, and thus a natural tendency that is very useful to morality in relation to other human beings is weakened.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Our intellect does not draw its laws from nature, but it imposes its laws upon nature.
Immanuel Kant
