More quotes by Immanuel Kant

Image
Every human being should always be treated as an end and never as a mere instrument.
Immanuel Kant
Image
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
Image
Always recognize that human individuals are ends, and do not use them as means to your end.
Immanuel Kant
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Perpetual Peace is only found in the graveyard.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Apart from moral conduct, all that man thinks himself able to do in order to become acceptable to God is mere superstition and religious folly.
Immanuel Kant
Image
An action is essentially good if the motive of the agent be good, regardless of the consequences.
Immanuel Kant
Image
A man who has tasted with profound enjoyment the pleasure of agreeable society will eat with a greater appetite than he who rode horseback for two hours. An amusing lecture is as useful for health as the exercise of the body.
Immanuel Kant
Image
All human knowledge begins with intuitions, proceeds from thence to concepts, and ends with ideas.
Immanuel Kant
Image
We are not rich by what we possess but by what we can do without.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Immaturity is the incapacity to use one's intelligence without the guidance of another.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Reason can never prove the existence of God.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The only objects of practical reason are therefore those of good and evil. For by the former is meant an object necessarily desired according to a principle of reason by the latter one necessarily shunned, also according to a principle of reason.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The only thing that is good without qualification is a good will.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Freedom in the practical sense is the independence of the power of choice from necessitation by impulses of sensibility
Immanuel Kant
Image
From such crooked wood as that which man is made of, nothing straight can be fashioned.
Immanuel Kant
Image
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
Image
In all judgements by which we describe anything as beautiful, we allow no one to be of another opinion.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Parents usually educate their children merely in such a manner than however bad the world may be, they may adapt themselves to its present conditions. But they ought to give them an education so much better than this, that a better condition of things may thereby be brought about by the future.
Immanuel Kant
