pensamento de outrem

gosto dele também.


Act that your principle of action might safely be made a law for the whole world.

All our knowledge begins with the senses, proceeds then to the understanding, and ends with reason. There is nothing higher than reason.

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?

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.

Always recognize that human individuals are ends, and do not use them as means to your end.

By a lie, a man... annihilates his dignity as a man.

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

Happiness is not an ideal of reason, but of imagination.

Immaturity is the incapacity to use one's intelligence without the guidance of another.

Ingratitude is the essence of vileness.

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.

It is beyond a doubt that all our knowledge that begins with experience.

It is not God's will merely that we should be happy, but that we should make ourselves happy.

It is not necessary that whilst I live I live happily; but it is necessary that so long as I live I should live honourably.

Live your life as though your every act were to become a universal law.

May you live your life as if the maxim of your actions were to become universal law.

Morality is not the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.

Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.

To be is to do.
