• 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."
