Immanuel Kant

• The Formula of the Law of Nature "Act as if the
  maxim of your action were to become through your
  will a universal law of nature."
• The Formula of the End Itself "Act in such a way
  that you always 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.
• The Formula of Autonomy "So act that your will
  can regard itself at the same time as making
  universal law through its maxims."
• The Formula of the Kingdom of Ends "So act as if
  you were through your maxims a law-making member
  of a kingdom of ends."
