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

More quotes by Immanuel Kant
Every human being should always be treated as an end and never as a mere instrument.
Immanuel Kant
The means employed by Nature to bring about the development of all the capacities of men is their antagonism in society, so far as this is, in the end, the cause of a lawful order among men.
Immanuel Kant
Three things tell a man: his eyes, his friends and his favorite quotes
Immanuel Kant
The enjoyment of power inevitably corrupts the judgment of reason, and perverts its liberty.
Immanuel Kant
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
I learned to honor human beings, and I would find myself far more useless than the common laborer if I did not believe that this consideration could impart to all others a value establishing the rights of humanity.
Immanuel Kant
Act so as to use humanity, yourself and others, always as an end and never as a means to an end.
Immanuel Kant
All appearances are real and negatio sophistical: All reality must be sensation.
Immanuel Kant
Riches ennoble a man's circumstances, but not himself.
Immanuel Kant
Of all the arts poetry (which owes its origin almost entirely to genius and will least be guided by precept or example) maintains the first rank.
Immanuel Kant
There will always be some people who think for themselves, even among the self-appointed guardians of the great mass who, after having thrown off the yoke of immaturity themselves, will spread about them the spirit of a reasonable estimate of their own value and of the need for every man to think for himself.
Immanuel Kant
The possession of power inevitably spoils the free use of reason.
Immanuel Kant
You only know me as you see me, not as I actually am
Immanuel Kant
No state at war with another state should engage in hostilities of such a kind as to render mutual confidence impossible when peace will have been made.
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
Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law.
Immanuel Kant
Prudence approaches, conscience accuses.
Immanuel Kant
The only thing permanent is change.
Immanuel Kant
Man relates to material things through direct insight rather than reason.
Immanuel Kant
Without man and his potential for moral progress, the whole of reality would be a mere wilderness, a thing in vain, and have no final purpose.
Immanuel Kant
