The Golden Rule as Taught By Many Leaders
A lot of people don't realize it, but the teaching we call "The Golden Rule" has been taught by many religious and philosophical leaders over the years. I've posted some here, in no particular order, as a reminder to everyone that some things are just right, no matter what.
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
1st century A.D. Jesus
Do not do unto others all that which is not well for oneself.
6th century B.C. Zoroaster
Hurt not others with that which pains thyself.
6th century B.C. Buddha
Do not do unto others what you do not want others to do unto you.
6th century B.C. Confucius
May I do unto others as I would that they should do unto me.
5th century B.C. Plato
Do not to others which if done to thee would cause thee pain.
