More quotes by Immanuel Kant
You only know me as you see me, not as I actually am
Immanuel Kant
Heaven has given human beings three things to balance the odds of life: hope, sleep, and laughter.
Immanuel Kant
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
If I am to constrain you by any law, it must be one by which I am also bound.
Immanuel Kant
Every human being should always be treated as an end and never as a mere instrument.
Immanuel Kant
Three things tell a man: his eyes, his friends and his favorite quotes
Immanuel Kant
Always treat people as ends in themselves, never as means to an end.
Immanuel Kant
But a lie is a lie, and in itself intrinsically evil, whether it be told with good or bad intents.
Immanuel Kant
In the mere concept of one thing it cannot be found any character of its existence.
Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant
Why were a few, or a single one, made at all, if only to exist in order to be made eternally miserable, which is infinitely worse than non-existence?
Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant
Arrogance is, as it were, a solicitation on the part of one seeking honor for followers, whom he thinks he is entitled to treat with contempt.
Immanuel Kant
Reason can never prove the existence of God.
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
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
Innocence is indeed a glorious thing but, unfortunately, it does not keep very well and is easily led astray.
Immanuel Kant
Men will not understand ... that when they fulfil their duties to men, they fulfil thereby God's commandments that they are consequently always in the service of God, as long as their actions are moral, and that it is absolutely impossible to serve God otherwise.
Immanuel Kant
I had therefore to remove knowledge, in order to make room for belief.
Immanuel Kant
For how is it possible, says that acute man, that when a concept is given me, I can go beyond it and connect with it another which is not contained in it, in such a manner as if that latter necessarily belonged to the former?
Immanuel Kant
