You only know me as you see me, not as I actually am
Immanuel Kant
Image
Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play.
Immanuel Kant
Image
An action, to have moral worth, must be done from duty.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind... The understanding can intuit nothing, the senses can think nothing. Only through their union can knowledge arise.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Metaphysics is a dark ocean without shores or lighthouse, strewn with many a philosophic wreck.
Immanuel Kant
Image
All human knowledge begins with intuitions, proceeds from thence to concepts, and ends with ideas.
Immanuel Kant
Image
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

Immanuel Kant
Image

Immanuel Kant
Image
Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the oftener and more steadily we reflect on them: the starry heavens above and the moral law within.
Immanuel Kant
Image
It is difficult for the isolated individual to work himself out of the immaturity which has become almost natural for him.
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 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
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
Image
All appearances are real and negatio sophistical: All reality must be sensation.
Immanuel Kant
Image
If education is to develop human nature so that it may attain the object of its being, it must involve the exercise of judgment.
Immanuel Kant
