― Jean-Jacques Rousseau

“Morality is not properly the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.”
― Immanuel Kant

“Everything is in constant flux on this earth. Nothing keeps the same unchanging shape, and our affections, being attached to things outside us, necessarily change and pass away as they do. Always out ahead of us or lagging behind, they recall a past which is gone or anticipate a future which may never come into being; there is nothing solid there for the heart to attach itself to. Thus our earthly joys are almost without exception the creatures of a moment...”
― Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Meditations of a Solitary Walker

“Without man and his potential for moral progress, the whole of reality would be a mere wilderness, a thing in vain, and have no final purpose.”
― Immanuel Kant, Perpetual Peace
