Always treat people as ends in themselves, never as means to an end.
Immanuel Kant
Standing armies shall in time be totally abolished.
Immanuel Kant
That Logic has advanced in this sure course, even from the earliest times, is apparent from the fact that, since Aristotle, it has been unable to advance a step, and thus to all appearance has reached its completion.

Immanuel Kant
Prudence reproaches conscience accuses.
