Every religion emphasizes human improvement, love,
respect for others, sharing other people’s suffering.
On these lines every religion has more or less the
same viewpoint and the same goal.

The Dalai Lama

Christianity
Do unto others as you would have them do unto
you, for this is the law
...Matthew 7:12, Luke 6:31

Judaism
What is hurtful to yourself do not to your fellow
man. That is the whole of The Torah and the
remainder is but commentary
.
Shabbath/Rabbi Hillel

Islam
Do unto all men as you would they should unto
you, and reject for others what you would reject
for yourself.
Mishkat-el-Masabih

Buddhism
Hurt not others with that which pains yourself.
Udanavarga 5.8

Confucianism
What you do not yourself desire, do not put before
others. Analects 15.23

Hinduism
This is the sum of all true righteousness -
Treat others, as thou wouldst thyself be treated.
Do nothing to thy neighbor, which hereafter
Thou wouldst not have thy neighbor do to thee.

Mahabharata (Ganguli, Book 13 CXIII)

Sikhism
Treat others as thou wouldst be treated thyself.
Guru Angad (Macauliffe vol 2, p.29)

Native American
All things share the same breath -the beast, the
tree, the man, the air shares its spirit with all the

life it supports. Chief Seattle

Taoism
Regard your neighbor’s gain as your own gain;
and regard your neighbor’s loss as your own loss,
even as though you were in their place.

Tai-Shang Kan-Ying Pien

Bahá’í
Ascribe not to any soul that which thou wouldst
not have ascribed to thee.
Bahá’ulláh

Mazappaism
We're all mazappas at heart. Every last one of
us. I dont' like it, but there's no escaping it.
