More quotes by Immanuel Kant
What can I know? What ought I to do? What may I hope?
Immanuel Kant
Perpetual Peace is only found in the graveyard.
Immanuel Kant
The possession of power inevitably spoils the free use of reason.
Immanuel Kant
Freedom is the alone unoriginated birthright of man, and belongs to him by force of his humanity and is independence on the will and co-action of every other in so far as this consists with every other person's freedom.
Immanuel Kant
We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.
Immanuel Kant
For how is it possible, says that acute man, that when a concept is given me, I can go beyond it and connect with it another which is not contained in it, in such a manner as if that latter necessarily belonged to the former?
Immanuel Kant
I am an investigator by inclination. I feel a great thirst for knowledge.
Immanuel Kant
The greatest human quest is to know what one must do in order to become a human being.
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
I am myself by inclination an investigator.
Immanuel Kant
It is the Land of Truth (enchanted name!), surrounded by a wide and stormy ocean, the true home of illusion, where many a fog bank and ice, that soon melts away, tempt us to believe in new lands, while constantly deceiving the adventurous mariner with vain hopes, and involving him in adventures which he can never leave, yet never bring to an end.
Immanuel Kant
If justice perishes, human life on Earth has lost its meaning.
Immanuel Kant
Riches ennoble a man's circumstances, but not himself.
Immanuel Kant
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
The hand is the visible part of the brain.
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
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
Humanity is at its greatest perfection in the race of the whites.
Immanuel Kant
Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.
Immanuel Kant
Always recognize that human individuals are ends, and do not use them as means to your end.
Immanuel Kant
