More quotes by Immanuel Kant
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
Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind.
Immanuel Kant
Ingratitude is the essence of vileness.
Immanuel Kant
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
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
Philosophy stands in need of a science which shall determine the possibility, principles, and extent of human knowledge à priori.
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
Nothing is divine but what is agreeable to reason.
Immanuel Kant
Honesty is better than any policy.
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
Always treat people as ends in themselves, never as means to an end.
Immanuel Kant
What can I know? What ought I to do? What may I hope?
Immanuel Kant
Freedom is the alone unoriginated birthright of man, and belongs to him by force of his humanity and is independence on the will and co-action of every other in so far as this consists with every other person's freedom.
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
The busier we are, the more acutely we feel that we live, the more conscious we are of life.
Immanuel Kant
From such crooked wood as that which man is made of, nothing straight can be fashioned.
Immanuel Kant
We are not rich by what we possess but by what we can do without.
Immanuel Kant
Humanity is at its greatest perfection in the race of the whites.
Immanuel Kant
Religion is the recognition of all our duties as divine commands.
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
