More quotes by Immanuel Kant
Do the right thing because it is right.
Immanuel Kant
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
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
Riches ennoble a man's circumstances, but not himself.
Immanuel Kant
Humanity is at its greatest perfection in the race of the whites.
Immanuel Kant
The infinitude of creation is great enough to make a world, or a Milky Way of worlds, look in comparison with it what a flower or an insect does in comparison with the Earth.
Immanuel Kant
The universal and lasting establishment of peace constitutes not merely a part, but the whole final purpose and end of the science of right as viewed within the limits of reason.
Immanuel Kant
The greatest human quest is to know what one must do in order to become a human being.
Immanuel Kant
Religion is the recognition of all our duties as divine commands.
Immanuel Kant
Have patience awhile slanders are not long-lived. Truth is the child of time erelong she shall appear to vindicate thee.
Immanuel Kant
Space and time are the framework within which the mind is constrained to construct its experience of reality.
Immanuel Kant
Human reason is by nature architectonic.
Immanuel Kant
I had therefore to remove knowledge, in order to make room for belief.
Immanuel Kant
The hand is the visible part of the brain.
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
Even a man's exact imitation of the song of the nightingale displeases us when we discover that it is a mimicry, and not the nightingale.
Immanuel Kant
An action, to have moral worth, must be done from duty.
Immanuel Kant
The ultimate destiny of the human race is the greatest moral perfection, provided that it is achieved through human freedom, whereby alone man is capable of the greatest happiness.
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
Always regard every man as an end in himself, and never use him merely as a means to your ends [i.e., respect that each person has a life and purpose that is their own do not treat people as objects to be exploited].
Immanuel Kant
