More quotes by Immanuel Kant

Image
There is needed, no doubt, a body of servants (ministerium) of the invisible church, but not officials (officiales), in other words, teachers but not dignitaries, because in the rational religion of every individual there does not yet exist a church as a universal union (omnitudo collectiva).
Immanuel Kant

You only know me as you see me, not as I actually am
Immanuel Kant
Image
An action, to have moral worth, must be done from duty.

Immanuel Kant
Image
Everything in nature acts in conformity with law.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Standing armies shall in time be totally abolished.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The infinitude of creation is great enough to make a world, or a Milky Way of worlds, look in comparison with it what a flower or an insect does in comparison with the Earth.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Reason can never prove the existence of God.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The inscrutable wisdom through which we exist is not less worthy of veneration in respect to what it denies us than in respect to what it has granted.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Perhaps a revolution can overthrow autocratic despotism and profiteering or power-grabbing oppression, but it can never truly reform a manner of thinking instead, new prejudices, just like the old ones they replace, will serve as a leash for the great unthinking mass.
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
We can never, even by the strictest examination, get completely behind the secret springs of action.
