Immanuel Kant Quotes

Nature is the source of all true knowledge. She has her own logic, her own laws, she has no effect without cause nor invention without necessity.

Every event has had its cause, and nothing, not the least wind that blows, is accident or causeless.

Everything is connected. The wing of the corn beetle affects the direction of the wind, the way the sand drifts, the way the light reflects into the eye of man beholding his reality. All is part of totality, and in this totality man finds his hozro, his way of walking in harmony, with beauty all around him.

Nothing exists from whose nature some effect does not follow.

It is the function of science to discover the existence of a general reign of order in nature and to find the causes governing this order. And this refers in equal measure to the relations of man - social and political - and to the entire universe as a whole.

When we human beings hypothesize that a law of nature holds - even temporarily or situationally - we are creating an idea, but we are also making a hypothesis about how nature behaves, whose truth or usefulness has nothing to do with what we know or believe.

I mean, if a person acts irresponsibly in his own life, he will pay the consequences. And it's not so much divine retribution as it's built into the law of nature.

Military deployments have never been something to enjoy, but the consequence of the actions, the shared nature of the sacrifices, and the nobility of the cause are invigorating. To be clear, I'm not talking about the killing and the death; rather, the sense of purpose that pervades every action, reaction, and outcome.

If you violate Nature's laws you are your own prosecuting attorney, judge, jury, and hangman.

I still believe in synergy, but I call it natural law.

Never does nature say one thing and wisdom another.

In nature there are no rewards or punishments; there are consequences.

Everything is a circle. We are each responsible for our own actions. It will come back.

There are in nature neither rewards nor punishments — there are only consequences.

The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired

Nature is actually the greatest democracy in the world.

Thou shalt likewise know that according to Law, the nature of this universe is in all things a like.

Water cannot rise higher than its source, neither can human reason.

Let us guard against saying that there are laws in nature. There are merely necessities: there is no one who commands, no one whoobeys, no one who transgresses. Once you understand that there are no purposes, then you also understand that nothing is accidental: for it is only in a world of purposes that the word "accident" makes sense.

It is a law, that every event depends on some law.

There are no random acts...We are all connected...You can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind.

In nature there is a fundamental unity running through all the diversity we see about us. Religions are given to mankind so as to accelerate the process of realisation of fundamental unity.

We first share the life by which things exist, and afterwards see them as appearances in nature, and forget that we have shared their cause.

Everything in nature goes by law, and not by luck.

For nature by the same cause, provided it remain in the same condition, always produces the same effect, so that either coming-to-be or passing-away will always result.
