Immanuel Kant
Image
Act in such a way that you will be worthy of being happy.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Always recognize that human individuals are ends, and do not use them as means to your end.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Ghost stories are always listened to and well received in private, but pitilessly disavowed in public. For my own part, ignorant as I am of the way in which the human spirit enters the world and the way in which he goes out of it, I dare not deny the truth of many such narratives.
Immanuel Kant
Image
One who makes himself a worm cannot complain afterwards if people step on him.
Immanuel Kant

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
Do what is right, though the world may perish.
Immanuel Kant

A single line in the Bible has consoled me more than all the books I ever read besides.
Immanuel Kant
Image
We can never, even by the strictest examination, get completely behind the secret springs of action.
Immanuel Kant
Image
There can be no doubt that all our knowledge begins with experience.
Immanuel Kant
Image
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
Image
I am an investigator by inclination. I feel a great thirst for knowledge.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Heaven has given human beings three things to balance the odds of life: hope, sleep, and laughter.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Always treat people as ends in themselves, never as means to an end.
