More quotes by Immanuel Kant
We can never, even by the strictest examination, get completely behind the secret springs of action.
Immanuel Kant
Even a man's exact imitation of the song of the nightingale displeases us when we discover that it is a mimicry, and not the nightingale.
Immanuel Kant
Act in such a way that you will be worthy of being happy.
Immanuel Kant
The nice thing about living in a small town is that when you don't know what you're doing, someone else does.
Immanuel Kant
Parents usually educate their children merely in such a manner than however bad the world may be, they may adapt themselves to its present conditions. But they ought to give them an education so much better than this, that a better condition of things may thereby be brought about by the future.
Immanuel Kant
Innocence is indeed a glorious thing but, unfortunately, it does not keep very well and is easily led astray.
Immanuel Kant
Do what is right, though the world may perish.
Immanuel Kant
Perpetual Peace is only found in the graveyard.
Immanuel Kant
Space and time are the framework within which the mind is constrained to construct its experience of reality.
Immanuel Kant
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
I had therefore to remove knowledge, in order to make room for belief.
Immanuel Kant
There can be no doubt that all our knowledge begins with experience.
Immanuel Kant
Two things awe me most, the starry sky above me and the moral law within me.
Immanuel Kant
Reason can never prove the existence of God.
Immanuel Kant
But although all our knowledge begins with experience, it does not follow that it arises from experience.
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
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
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
All trades, arts, and handiworks have gained by division of labor... Where the different kinds of work are not distinguished and divided, where everyone is a jack-of-all-trades, there manufactures remain still in the greatest barbarism.
Immanuel Kant
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
