More quotes by Immanuel Kant
Men will not understand ... that when they fulfil their duties to men, they fulfil thereby God's commandments that they are consequently always in the service of God, as long as their actions are moral, and that it is absolutely impossible to serve God otherwise.
Immanuel Kant
I am myself by inclination an investigator.
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
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
Prudence reproaches conscience accuses.
Immanuel Kant
Three things tell a man: his eyes, his friends and his favorite quotes
Immanuel Kant
You only know me as you see me, not as I actually am
Immanuel Kant
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
One who makes himself a worm cannot complain afterwards if people step on him.
Immanuel Kant
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
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
The only thing permanent is change.
Immanuel Kant
All trades, arts, and handiworks have gained by division of labor... Where the different kinds of work are not distinguished and divided, where everyone is a jack-of-all-trades, there manufactures remain still in the greatest barbarism.
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
I am an investigator by inclination. I feel a great thirst for knowledge.
Immanuel Kant
I freely admit that the remembrance of David Hume was the very thing that many years ago first interrupted my dogmatic slumber and gave a completely different direction to my researches in the field of speculative philosophy.
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
Intuition and concepts constitute... the elements of all our knowledge, so that neither concepts without an intuition in some way corresponding to them, nor intuition without concepts, can yield knowledge.
Immanuel Kant
He who has made great moral progress ceases to pray
Immanuel Kant
Do what is right, though the world may perish.
Immanuel Kant
