More quotes by Immanuel Kant
Dare to know! Have the courage to use your own intelligence!
Immanuel Kant
Our knowledge springs from two fundamental sources of the mind the first is the capacity of receiving representations (receptivity for impressions), the second is the power of knowing an object through these representations (spontaneity [in the production] of concepts).
Immanuel Kant
Thrift is care and scruple in the spending of one's means. It is not a virtue and it requires neither skill nor talent.
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
Standing armies shall in time be totally abolished.
Immanuel Kant
It is difficult for the isolated individual to work himself out of the immaturity which has become almost natural for him.
Immanuel Kant
I had therefore to remove knowledge, in order to make room for belief.
Immanuel Kant
Innocence is indeed a glorious thing but, unfortunately, it does not keep very well and is easily led astray.
Immanuel Kant
Perpetual Peace is only found in the graveyard.
Immanuel Kant
Ingratitude is the essence of vileness.
Immanuel Kant
It is often necessary to make a decision on the basis of knowledge sufficient for action but insufficient to satisfy the intellect.
Immanuel Kant
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
Reason in a creature is a faculty of widening the rules and purposes of the use of all its powers far beyond natural instinct it acknowledges no limits to its projects. Reason itself does not work instinctively, but requires trial, practice, and instruction in order gradually to progress from one level of insight to another.
Immanuel Kant
It is by his activities and not by enjoyment that man feels he is alive. In idleness we not only feel that life is fleeting, but we also feel lifeless.
Immanuel Kant
Suicide is not abominable because God prohibits it God prohibits it because it is abominable.
Immanuel Kant
Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play.
Immanuel Kant
All appearances are real and negatio sophistical: All reality must be sensation.
Immanuel Kant
All thought must, directly or indirectly, by way of certain characters, relate ultimately to intuitions, and therefore, with us, to sensibility, because in no other way can an object be given to us.
Immanuel Kant
There is nothing higher than reason.
Immanuel Kant
Happiness is not an ideal of reason, but of imagination.
Immanuel Kant
