Immanuel Kant Quotes

Reason in a creature is a faculty of widening the rules and purposes of the use of all its powers far beyond natural instinct; it acknowledges no limits to its projects. Reason itself does not work instinctively, but requires trial, practice, and instruction in order gradually to progress from one level of insight to another Picture Quote #1

If an offender has committed murder, he must die. In this case, no possible substitute can satisfy justice. For there is no parallel between death and even the most miserable life, so that there is no equality of crime and retribution unless the perpetrator is judicially put to death Picture Quote #1

... as to moral feeling, this supposed special sense, the appeal to it is indeed superficial when those who cannot think believe that feeling will help them out, even in what concerns general laws: and besides, feelings which naturally differ infinitely in degree cannot furnish a uniform standard of good and evil, nor has any one a right to form judgments for others by his own feelings Picture Quote #1

Deaths, births, and marriages, considering how much they are separately dependent on the freedom of the human will, should seem to be subject to no law according to which any calculation could be made beforehand of their amount; and yet the yearly registers of these events in great countries prove that they go on with as much conformity to the laws of nature as the oscillations of the weather Picture Quote #1

May you live your life as if the maxim of your actions were to become universal law Picture Quote #1

Morality is not properly the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Philosophical knowledge is the knowledge gained by reason from concepts; mathematical knowledge it the knowledge gained by reason from the construction of concepts Picture Quote #1

Morality is not really the doctrine of how to make ourselves happy but of how we are to be worthy of happiness Picture Quote #1
