More quotes by Immanuel Kant
The busier we are, the more acutely we feel that we live, the more conscious we are of life.
Immanuel Kant
All human knowledge begins with intuitions, proceeds from thence to concepts, and ends with ideas.
Immanuel Kant
The only thing permanent is change.
Immanuel Kant
Nothing is divine but what is agreeable to reason.
Immanuel Kant
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
All thought must, directly or indirectly, by way of certain characters, relate ultimately to intuitions, and therefore, with us, to sensibility, because in no other way can an object be given to us.
Immanuel Kant
We find that the more a cultivated reason devotes itself to the aim of enjoying life and happiness, the further does man get away from true contentment.
Immanuel Kant
The possession of power inevitably spoils the free use of reason.
Immanuel Kant
Two things awe me most, the starry sky above me and the moral law within me.
Immanuel Kant
You only know me as you see me, not as I actually am
Immanuel Kant
The existence of the Bible, as a book for the people, is the greatest benefit which the human race has ever experienced. Every attempt to belittle it is a crime against humanity.
Immanuel Kant
If I am to constrain you by any law, it must be one by which I am also bound.
Immanuel Kant
Prudence approaches, conscience accuses.
Immanuel Kant
I had therefore to remove knowledge, in order to make room for belief.
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
That Logic has advanced in this sure course, even from the earliest times, is apparent from the fact that, since Aristotle, it has been unable to advance a step, and thus to all appearance has reached its completion.
Immanuel Kant
We are not rich by what we possess but by what we can do without.
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
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
Everything in nature acts in conformity with law.
Immanuel Kant
