1. The universal law - All moral statements should be general laws, which apply to everyone under and circumstances. There should be no occasion under which an exception is made.

2. Treat humans as ends in themselves - Kant argues that you should never treat people as a means to some end. People should always be treated as ends in themselves. This promotes equality.

3. Act as if you live in a kingdom of ends - Kant assumed that all rational agents were able to deduce whether an argument was moral or not through reason alone and so, all rational humans should be able to conclude the same moral laws.

What is Kant's quote on lying and how does it relate to his ethical philosophy?

Kant's quote on lying is "Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law." This quote reflects Kant's ethical philosophy of deontology, which emphasizes the importance of moral duty and following universal moral principles. In the context of lying, Kant believed that lying is always wrong because if everyone lied, trust and communication would break down, making lying unsustainable as a universal law.
