Golden Rule
己所不欲,勿施于人 Never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself. - Confucius
Putting oneself in the place of another, one should not kill nor cause another to kill.
One who, while himself seeking happiness, oppresses with violence other beings who also desire happiness, will not attain happiness hereafter. - Buddism
And if thine eyes be turned towards justice, choose thou for thy neighbour that which thou choosest for thyself. - Baha'u'llah
Do to no one what you yourself dislike. - Tobit 4:15
One should never do that to another which one regards as injurious to one’s own self. This, in brief, is the rule of dharma. Other behavior is due to selfish desires. - Brihaspati, Mahabharata
Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you. - Muhammad, The Farewell Sermon
Nothing which breathes, which exists, which lives, or which has essence or potential of life, should be destroyed or ruled over, or subjugated, or harmed, or denied of its essence or potential. In support of this Truth, I ask you a question - "Is sorrow or pain desirable to you ?" If you say "yes it is", it would be a lie. If you say, "No, It is not" you will be expressing the truth. Just as sorrow or pain is not desirable to you, so it is to all which breathe, exist, live or have any essence of life. To you and all, it is undesirable, and painful, and repugnant. - Acaranga Sutra
You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against your kinsfolk. Love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD. - Leviticus 19:18
The truly enlightened ones are those who neither incite fear in others nor fear anyone themselves. - p.1427, Slok, Guru Granth Sahib (tr. Patwant Singh)
