Immanuel Kant was a German philosopher. He was one of the major Enlightenment thinkers and greatly contributed to the fields of ethics, aesthetics, epistemology, and metaphysics. Here are 6 quotes by him on morality and ethics:
“In law a man is guilty when he violates the rights of others. In ethics he is guilty if he only thinks of doing so.”
“We are not rich by what we possess but by what we can do without.”
“Live your life as though your every act were to become a universal law.”
“Ingratitude is the essence of vileness.”
“Act that your principle of action might safely be made a law for the whole world.”
“Morality is not the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.”
