More quotes by Immanuel Kant
[R]eason is... given to us as a practical faculty, that is, as one that influences the will.
Immanuel Kant
All trades, arts, and handiworks have gained by division of labor... Where the different kinds of work are not distinguished and divided, where everyone is a jack-of-all-trades, there manufactures remain still in the greatest barbarism.
Immanuel Kant
Metaphysics is a dark ocean without shores or lighthouse, strewn with many a philosophic wreck.
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
Riches ennoble a man's circumstances, but not himself.
Immanuel Kant
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
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
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
Three things tell a man: his eyes, his friends and his favorite quotes
Immanuel Kant
We find that the more a cultivated reason devotes itself to the aim of enjoying life and happiness, the further does man get away from true contentment.
Immanuel Kant
The existence of the Bible, as a book for the people, is the greatest benefit which the human race has ever experienced. Every attempt to belittle it is a crime against humanity.
Immanuel Kant
Ingratitude is the essence of vileness.
Immanuel Kant
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
The hand is the visible part of the brain.
Immanuel Kant
Even philosophers will praise war as ennobling mankind, forgetting the Greek who said: 'War is bad in that it begets more evil than it kills.'
Immanuel Kant
Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.
Immanuel Kant
The ultimate destiny of the human race is the greatest moral perfection, provided that it is achieved through human freedom, whereby alone man is capable of the greatest happiness.
Immanuel Kant
In all judgements by which we describe anything as beautiful, we allow no one to be of another opinion.
Immanuel Kant
The possession of power inevitably spoils the free use of reason.
Immanuel Kant
I ought never to act except in such a way that I could also will that my maxim should become a universal law.
Immanuel Kant
