Es ist überall nichts in der Welt, ja überhaupt auch außer derselben… — Immanuel Kant | Printable Wall Art

“Es ist überall nichts in der Welt, ja überhaupt auch außer derselben zu denken möglich, was ohne Einschränkung für gut könnte gehalten werden, als allein ein guter Wille.”
“There is nothing in the world, indeed nothing even beyond it, that can possibly be conceived which could be called good without qualification, except a good will.”

Words by Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) — German philosopher.

About this quote

Kant argues that moral value depends entirely on a person's motives rather than outcomes. Talents, intelligence, wealth, and courage are all desirable traits, but they can easily serve evil ends if guided by a selfish intention. Only a genuine desire to do the right thing, regardless of the consequences, is good in itself without any reservation.

This famous sentence opens Kant's 1785 work, Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals. It established his core idea that ethical principles must be grounded in rational intention rather than emotional desire or practical result.

People often display this in a home office or library as a daily reminder to act with integrity.
