Immanuel Kant
Image
You only know me as you see me, not as I actually am
Immanuel Kant
Image
Heaven has given human beings three things to balance the odds of life: hope, sleep, and laughter.
Immanuel Kant
Image
From such crooked wood as that which man is made of, nothing straight can be fashioned.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Man desired concord but nature knows better what is good for his species she desires discord. Man wants to live easy and content but nature compels him to leave ease... and throw himself into roils and labors.
Immanuel Kant

If justice perishes, human life on Earth has lost its meaning.
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

Immanuel Kant
Image
The sceptics, a kind of nomads, despising all settled culture of the land, broke up from time to time all civil society. Fortunately their number was small, and they could not prevent the old settlers from returning to cultivate the ground afresh, though without any fixed plan or agreement.
Immanuel Kant

Happiness, though an indefinite concept, is the goal of all rational beings
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
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
Reason can never prove the existence of God.
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
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
Man relates to material things through direct insight rather than reason.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Suicide is not abominable because God prohibits it God prohibits it because it is abominable.
Immanuel Kant
Image
There is a limit where the intellect fails and breaks down, and this limit is where the questions concerning God and freewill and immortality arise.
Immanuel Kant
