More quotes by Immanuel Kant
He who has made great moral progress ceases to pray
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
The business of philosophy is not to give rules, but to analyze the private judgments of common reason.
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
Each according to his own way of seeing things, seek one goal, that is gratification.
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
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
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
cruelty to animals is contrary to man's duty to himself, because it deadens in him the feeling of sympathy for their sufferings, and thus a natural tendency that is very useful to morality in relation to other human beings is weakened.
Immanuel Kant
Have patience awhile slanders are not long-lived. Truth is the child of time erelong she shall appear to vindicate thee.
Immanuel Kant
Human freedom is realised in the adoption of humanity as an end in itself, for the one thing that no-one can be compelled to do by another is to adopt a particular end. - 'Metaphysical Principles of Virtue
Immanuel Kant
Man's greatest concern is to know how he shall properly fill his place in the universe and correctly understand what he must be in order to be a man.
Immanuel Kant
Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.
Immanuel Kant
Even philosophers will praise war as ennobling mankind, forgetting the Greek who said: 'War is bad in that it begets more evil than it kills.'
Immanuel Kant
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
Freedom is the alone unoriginated birthright of man, and belongs to him by force of his humanity.
Immanuel Kant
It is by his activities and not by enjoyment that man feels he is alive. In idleness we not only feel that life is fleeting, but we also feel lifeless.
Immanuel Kant
Act so that the maxim of your act could be made the principle of a universal law.
Immanuel Kant
Prudence reproaches conscience accuses.
Immanuel Kant
Philosophy stands in need of a science which shall determine the possibility, principles, and extent of human knowledge à priori.
Immanuel Kant
