More quotes by Immanuel Kant
We ourselves introduce that order and regularity in the appearance which we entitle nature. We could never find them in appearances had we not ourselves, by the nature of our own mind, originally set them there.
Immanuel Kant
Prudence reproaches conscience accuses.
Immanuel Kant
Honesty is better than any policy.
Immanuel Kant
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
Ghost stories are always listened to and well received in private, but pitilessly disavowed in public. For my own part, ignorant as I am of the way in which the human spirit enters the world and the way in which he goes out of it, I dare not deny the truth of many such narratives.
Immanuel Kant
All the interests of my reason, speculative as well as practical, combine in the three following questions: 1. What can I know? 2. What ought I to do? 3. What may I hope?
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
It is difficult for the isolated individual to work himself out of the immaturity which has become almost natural for him.
Immanuel Kant
Arrogance is, as it were, a solicitation on the part of one seeking honor for followers, whom he thinks he is entitled to treat with contempt.
Immanuel Kant
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
Democracy is necessarily despotism, as it establishes an executive power contrary to the general will all being able to decide against one whose opinion may differ, the will of all is therefore not that of all: which is contradictory and opposite to liberty.
Immanuel Kant
Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the oftener and more steadily we reflect on them: the starry heavens above and the moral law within.
Immanuel Kant
Through laziness and cowardice a large part of mankind, even after nature has freed them from alien guidance, gladly remain immature. It is because of laziness and cowardice that it is so easy for others to usurp the role of guardians. It is so comfortable to be a minor!
Immanuel Kant
Perpetual Peace is only found in the graveyard.
Immanuel Kant
I shall never forget my mother, for it was she who planted and nurtured the first seeds of good within me. She opened my heart to the lasting impressions of nature she awakened my understanding and extended my horizon and her percepts exerted an everlasting influence upon the course of my life.
Immanuel Kant
The light dove, cleaving the air in her free flight, and feeling its resistance, might imagine that its flight would be still easier in empty space.
Immanuel Kant
Do the right thing because it is right.
Immanuel Kant
There can be no doubt that all our knowledge begins with experience.
Immanuel Kant
The inscrutable wisdom through which we exist is not less worthy of veneration in respect to what it denies us than in respect to what it has granted.
Immanuel Kant
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
