More quotes by Immanuel Kant
I am an investigator by inclination. I feel a great thirst for knowledge.
Immanuel Kant
Three things tell a man: his eyes, his friends and his favorite quotes
Immanuel Kant
Innocence is indeed a glorious thing but, unfortunately, it does not keep very well and is easily led astray.
Immanuel Kant
Through laziness and cowardice a large part of mankind, even after nature has freed them from alien guidance, gladly remain immature. It is because of laziness and cowardice that it is so easy for others to usurp the role of guardians. It is so comfortable to be a minor!
Immanuel Kant
The only thing permanent is change.
Immanuel Kant
If education is to develop human nature so that it may attain the object of its being, it must involve the exercise of judgment.
Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant
Prudence approaches, conscience accuses.
Immanuel Kant
There can be no doubt that all our knowledge begins with experience.
Immanuel Kant

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
One who makes himself a worm cannot complain afterwards if people step on him.
Immanuel Kant
THERE ARE TWO THINGS that don't have to mean anything, one is music and the other is laughter.
Immanuel Kant
I freely admit that the remembrance of David Hume was the very thing that many years ago first interrupted my dogmatic slumber and gave a completely different direction to my researches in the field of speculative philosophy.
Immanuel Kant
Everything in nature acts in conformity with law.
Immanuel Kant
Nature, when left to universal laws, tends to produce regularity out of chaos.
Immanuel Kant
Maturity is having the courage to use one's own intelligence!
Immanuel Kant
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.
Immanuel Kant
You only know me as you see me, not as I actually am
Immanuel Kant
The possession of power inevitably spoils the free use of reason.
Immanuel Kant
