The only thing that is good without qualification is a good will.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Dare to know! Have the courage to use your own intelligence!
Immanuel Kant
Image
The existence of the Bible, as a book for the people, is the greatest benefit which the human race has ever experienced. Every attempt to belittle it is a crime against humanity.
Immanuel Kant
Image
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
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
The hand is the visible part of the brain.
Immanuel Kant
Image
If I am to constrain you by any law, it must be one by which I am also bound.

I ought never to act except in such a way that I could also will that my maxim should become a universal law.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Nothing is divine but what is agreeable to reason.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Things which we see are not by themselves what we see ... It remains completely unknown to us what the objects may be by themselves and apart from the receptivity of our senses. We know nothing but our manner of perceiving them.
Immanuel Kant
Image
We ourselves introduce that order and regularity in the appearance which we entitle nature. We could never find them in appearances had we not ourselves, by the nature of our own mind, originally set them there.
Immanuel Kant
Image
One who makes himself a worm cannot complain afterwards if people step on him.
Immanuel Kant
Image
He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.
Immanuel Kant
Image
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
Image
Ingratitude is the essence of vileness.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Do what is right, though the world may perish.
Immanuel Kant
Image
All appearances are real and negatio sophistical: All reality must be sensation.
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
The busier we are, the more acutely we feel that we live, the more conscious we are of life.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play.
Immanuel Kant
