Immanuel Kant
Image
But although all our knowledge begins with experience, it does not follow that it arises from experience.
Immanuel Kant
Image
We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Without man and his potential for moral progress, the whole of reality would be a mere wilderness, a thing in vain, and have no final purpose.
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 greatest human quest is to know what one must do in order to become a human being.
Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant
Image

Immanuel Kant
Image
Everything in nature acts in conformity with law.
Immanuel Kant
Image
All human knowledge begins with intuitions, proceeds from thence to concepts, and ends with ideas.
Immanuel Kant
Image
It is not God's will merely that we should be happy, but that we should make ourselves happy
Immanuel Kant
Image
There is nothing higher than reason.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Feminine traits are called weaknesses. People joke about them fools ridicule them but reasonable persons see very well that those traits are just the tools for the management of men, and for the use of men for female designs.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The only thing permanent is change.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Human reason is by nature architectonic.
Immanuel Kant
Image
There is something splendid about innocence but what is bad about it, in turn, is that it cannot protect itself very well and is easily seduced.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Immaturity is the incapacity to use one's intelligence without the guidance of another.
Immanuel Kant
