The Universality of the Golden Rule in the World Religions
| Christianity | All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do
ye so to them; for this is the law and the prophets. Matthew 7:1 |

there will be no resentment against you, either in the family or in the state.

| Buddhism | Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful.
Udana-Varga 5,1 |

not have them do unto you. Mahabharata 5,1517 |
| Islam | No one of you is a believer until he desires for his brother
that which he desires for himself. Sunnah |
| Judaism | What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellowman. This is
the entire Law; all the rest is commentary. Talmud, Shabbat 3id |
| Taoism | Regard your neighbor’s gain as your gain, and your neighbor’s
loss as your own loss. Tai Shang Kan Yin P’ien |
| Zoroastrianism | That nature alone is good which refrains from doing another
whatsoever is not good for itself. Dadisten-I-dinik, 94,5 |
