Always recognize that human individuals are ends, and do not use them as means to your end.

Greatness and goodness are not means, but ends.

Means we use must be as pure as the ends we seek.

I understand that the end does not justify the means. And this should be a lasting value for democracy.

Nothing ends nicely, that's why it ends.
