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.

The only thing that is good without qualification is a good will.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Every human being should always be treated as an end and never as a mere instrument.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The enjoyment of power inevitably corrupts the judgment of reason, and perverts its liberty.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The wish to talk to God is absurd. We cannot talk to one we cannot comprehend — and we cannot comprehend God we can only believe in Him.
Immanuel Kant
Image

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
All appearances are real and negatio sophistical: All reality must be sensation.
Immanuel Kant
Image
There will always be some people who think for themselves, even among the self-appointed guardians of the great mass who, after having thrown off the yoke of immaturity themselves, will spread about them the spirit of a reasonable estimate of their own value and of the need for every man to think for himself.
Immanuel Kant
Image
A man who has tasted with profound enjoyment the pleasure of agreeable society will eat with a greater appetite than he who rode horseback for two hours. An amusing lecture is as useful for health as the exercise of the body.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Humanity is at its greatest perfection in the race of the whites.
Immanuel Kant
Image
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
Image
Heaven has given human beings three things to balance the odds of life: hope, sleep, and laughter.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The busier we are, the more acutely we feel that we live, the more conscious we are of life.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Riches ennoble a man's circumstances, but not himself.
Immanuel Kant
