Man's greatest concern is to know how he shall properly fill his place in the universe and correctly understand what he must be in order to be a man.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Our intellect does not draw its laws from nature, but it imposes its laws upon nature.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play.

Happiness is not an ideal of reason, but of imagination.
Immanuel Kant

Immaturity is the incapacity to use one's intelligence without the guidance of another.
Immanuel Kant
Image
It is the Land of Truth (enchanted name!), surrounded by a wide and stormy ocean, the true home of illusion, where many a fog bank and ice, that soon melts away, tempt us to believe in new lands, while constantly deceiving the adventurous mariner with vain hopes, and involving him in adventures which he can never leave, yet never bring to an end.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Perpetual Peace is only found in the graveyard.
Immanuel Kant
Image
It is not God's will merely that we should be happy, but that we should make ourselves happy
Immanuel Kant
Image
Do what is right, though the world may perish.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Two things awe me most, the starry sky above me and the moral law within me.
Immanuel Kant
Image
All the interests of my reason, speculative as well as practical, combine in the three following questions: 1. What can I know? 2. What ought I to do? 3. What may I hope?
Immanuel Kant
Image
Act in such a way that you will be worthy of being happy.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The greatest human quest is to know what one must do in order to become a human being.
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
You only know me as you see me, not as I actually am
Immanuel Kant
Image
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
