More quotes by 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
Always treat people as ends in themselves, never as means to an end.
Immanuel Kant
The question is not so much whether there is life on Mars as whether it will continue to be possible to live on Earth
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
I shall never forget my mother, for it was she who planted and nurtured the first seeds of good within me. She opened my heart to the lasting impressions of nature she awakened my understanding and extended my horizon and her percepts exerted an everlasting influence upon the course of my life.
Immanuel Kant
Apart from moral conduct, all that man thinks himself able to do in order to become acceptable to God is mere superstition and religious folly.
Immanuel Kant
In the natural state no concept of God can arise, and the false one which one makes for himself is harmful. Hence the theory of natural religion can be true only where there is no science therefore it cannot bind all men together.
Immanuel Kant
Our intellect does not draw its laws from nature, but it imposes its laws upon nature.
Immanuel Kant
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
All thought must, directly or indirectly, by way of certain characters, relate ultimately to intuitions, and therefore, with us, to sensibility, because in no other way can an object be given to us.
Immanuel Kant
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
But a lie is a lie, and in itself intrinsically evil, whether it be told with good or bad intents.
Immanuel Kant
Do what is right, though the world may perish.
Immanuel Kant
In all judgements by which we describe anything as beautiful, we allow no one to be of another opinion.
Immanuel Kant
Human freedom is realised in the adoption of humanity as an end in itself, for the one thing that no-one can be compelled to do by another is to adopt a particular end. - 'Metaphysical Principles of Virtue
Immanuel Kant
Humanity is at its greatest perfection in the race of the whites.
Immanuel Kant
Act in such a way that you will be worthy of being happy.
Immanuel Kant
It is often necessary to make a decision on the basis of knowledge sufficient for action but insufficient to satisfy the intellect.
Immanuel Kant
When a thoughtful human being has overcome incentives to vice and is aware of having done his bitter duty, he finds himself in a state that could be called happiness, a state of contentment and peace of mind in which virtue is its own reward.
Immanuel Kant
Suicide is not abominable because God prohibits it God prohibits it because it is abominable.
Immanuel Kant
