More quotes by Immanuel Kant

Image
cruelty to animals is contrary to man's duty to himself, because it deadens in him the feeling of sympathy for their sufferings, and thus a natural tendency that is very useful to morality in relation to other human beings is weakened.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The enjoyment of power inevitably corrupts the judgment of reason, and perverts its liberty.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Rules for Happiness: something to do, someone to love, something to hope for.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Happiness, though an indefinite concept, is the goal of all rational beings
Immanuel Kant
Image
There can be no doubt that all our knowledge begins with experience.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Man relates to material things through direct insight rather than reason.
Immanuel Kant
Image
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
Image
He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.
Immanuel Kant
Image
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
Image
Maximum individuality within maximum community
Immanuel Kant
Image
The sum total of all possible knowledge of God is not possible for a human being, not even through a true revelation. But it is one of the worthiest inquiries to see how far our reason can go in the knowledge of God.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Every human being should always be treated as an end and never as a mere instrument.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Act in such a way that you will be worthy of being happy.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Seek not the favor of the multitude it is seldom got by honest and lawful means. But seek the testimony of few and number not voices, but weigh them.
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
Metaphysics is a dark ocean without shores or lighthouse, strewn with many a philosophic wreck.
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
Image
Two things awe me most, the starry sky above me and the moral law within me.
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
Religion is the recognition of all our duties as divine commands.
Immanuel Kant
