Immanuel Kant
Image
Three things tell a man: his eyes, his friends and his favorite quotes
Immanuel Kant

An action, to have moral worth, must be done from duty.
Immanuel Kant
Image
There is a limit where the intellect fails and breaks down, and this limit is where the questions concerning God and freewill and immortality arise.
Immanuel Kant
Image
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
Image
The more we come in contact with animals and observe their behaviour, the more we love them, for we see how great is their care of the young.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Things which we see are not by themselves what we see ... It remains completely unknown to us what the objects may be by themselves and apart from the receptivity of our senses. We know nothing but our manner of perceiving them.
Immanuel Kant
Image
All human knowledge begins with intuitions, proceeds from thence to concepts, and ends with ideas.
Immanuel Kant
