Immanuel Kant
Image
There can be no doubt that all our knowledge begins with experience.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The only thing permanent is change.
Immanuel Kant

Religion is the recognition of all our duties as divine commands.
Immanuel Kant
Image
But a lie is a lie, and in itself intrinsically evil, whether it be told with good or bad intents.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The only objects of practical reason are therefore those of good and evil. For by the former is meant an object necessarily desired according to a principle of reason by the latter one necessarily shunned, also according to a principle of reason.
Immanuel Kant
Image
In all judgements by which we describe anything as beautiful, we allow no one to be of another opinion.
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
Image
Heaven has given human beings three things to balance the odds of life: hope, sleep, and laughter.
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
In the natural state no concept of God can arise, and the false one which one makes for himself is harmful. Hence the theory of natural religion can be true only where there is no science therefore it cannot bind all men together.
Immanuel Kant
Image
All natural capacities of a creature are destined to evolve completely to their natural end.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Maturity is having the courage to use one's own intelligence!
Immanuel Kant
Image
A man who has tasted with profound enjoyment the pleasure of agreeable society will eat with a greater appetite than he who rode horseback for two hours. An amusing lecture is as useful for health as the exercise of the body.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Enlightenment is the liberation of man from his self-caused state of minority... Supere aude! Dare to use your own understanding!is thus the motto of the Enlightenment.
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
Riches ennoble a man's circumstances, but not himself.
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
Image
Nothing is divine but what is agreeable to reason.
Immanuel Kant
Image
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
