More quotes by Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant
Freedom is the alone unoriginated birthright of man, and belongs to him by force of his humanity and is independence on the will and co-action of every other in so far as this consists with every other person's freedom.
Immanuel Kant
The greatest human quest is to know what one must do in order to become a human being.
Immanuel Kant
Act in such a way that you will be worthy of being happy.
Immanuel Kant
[R]eason is... given to us as a practical faculty, that is, as one that influences the will.
Immanuel Kant
The light dove, cleaving the air in her free flight, and feeling its resistance, might imagine that its flight would be still easier in empty space.
Immanuel Kant
