More from Immanuel Kant
"A categorical imperative is an imperative that commands a certain conduct immediately, without having as its condition any other purpose to be attained by it."
"The only thing that is good without qualification is a good will."
"By the mixing of the races 'the whites would become degraded'."
"Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, never simply as a means, but always at the same time as an end."
"Heteronomy of the will, on the other hand, is the source of all spurious principles of morality."
