This term refers to the maxim "do as you would be done by". For other uses, see Golden Rule (disambiguation).
The maxim of the "golden rule" is exemplified in many Christian stories, such as the Parable of the Good Samaritan, which are unadorned replications of the Jewish Torah: "Love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD."(Leviticus 19:18 —NJPS)[1]
The Golden Rule or ethic of reciprocity is a maxim,[2] ethical code, or morality[3] that essentially states either of the following:
(Positive form): One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself.[2]
Ancient China~"Never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself." -- Confucius[15]
Ancient Egypt~ (c. 664 BCE -- 323 BCE) papyrus: "That which you hate to be done to you, do not do to another."[18]
Ancient Greece~"Do not do to others what would anger you if done to you by others." -- Isocrates[23](436--338 BCE)
Bahá'í Faith~Ascribe not to any soul that which thou wouldst not have ascribed to thee, and say not that which thou doest not.
—Bahá'u'lláh[37][38][39]
Buddhism~Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful.
—Udanavarga 5:18
Christianity~Luke 6:31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
Jewish "That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow. That is the whole Torah; the rest is the explanation; go and learn."
Hinduism~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 (Anusasana Parva, Section CXIII, Verse 8)[47]
Islam~"...and you should forgive And overlook: Do you not like God to forgive you? And Allah is The Merciful Forgiving."
— Qur'an (Surah 24, "The Light," v. 22)
Sikhism~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
Taoism~Regard your neighbor's gain as your own gain, and your neighbor's loss as your own loss.
—T'ai Shang Kan Ying P'ien
—Talmud, Shabbat 31a

"...Hail! long expected glorious day
Illustrious memorable morn:
That freedom's fabric from decay
Secures - for millions yet unborn.
Rejoice, Columbia's sons, rejoice
To tyrants never bend the knee
But join with heart, and soul and voice
For Jefferson and Liberty.
Hail! long expected glorious day
Illustrious memorable morn:
That freedom's fabric from decay
Secures - for millions yet unborn.
...
Within its hallow'd walls immense
No hireling band shall e'er arise;
Array'd in tyranny's defence,
To hear an injur'd people's cries.
...
Here strangers from a thousand shores
Compell'd by tyranny to roam;
Shall find, amidst abundant stores,
A nobler and a happier home.
...
These gifts, great Liberty, are thine,
Ten thousand more we owe to thee;
Immortal may their mem'ries shine,
Who fought and died for Liberty.
...
What heart but hails a scene so bright
What soul but inspiration draws;
Who would not guard so dear a right
Or die in such a glorious cause.
...
Let foes to freedom dread the name,
But should they touch the sacred tree
Twice fifty thousand swords would flame,
For Jefferson and Liberty.
...
From Georgia up to Lake Champlain
From seas to Mississippi's shore;
Ye sons of freedom loud proclaim,
The Reign of Terror is no more.
...
To tyrants never bend the knee;
But join with heart, and soul and voice
For ."
