Everything in nature acts in conformity with law.
Immanuel Kant
Image
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
Image
The business of philosophy is not to give rules, but to analyze the private judgments of common reason.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Riches ennoble a man's circumstances, but not himself.
Immanuel Kant
Image
He who has made great moral progress ceases to pray
Immanuel Kant

You only know me as you see me, not as I actually am

Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play.

Image
Enlightenment is the liberation of man from his self-caused state of minority... Supere aude! Dare to use your own understanding!is thus the motto of the Enlightenment.
Immanuel Kant

Nothing is divine but what is agreeable to reason.
Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant
Image
If I am to constrain you by any law, it must be one by which I am also bound.
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
Two things awe me most, the starry sky above me and the moral law within me.
Immanuel Kant
Image
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
Image
Dare to know! Have the courage to use your own intelligence!
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
All thought must, directly or indirectly, by way of certain characters, relate ultimately to intuitions, and therefore, with us, to sensibility, because in no other way can an object be given to us.
Immanuel Kant
Image
One who makes himself a worm cannot complain afterwards if people step on him.
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
Happiness is not an ideal of reason, but of imagination.
Immanuel Kant
