Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

The Golden Rule Across Cultures ...
Brahmanism ... This is the sum of duty: Do naught unto others which would cause you pain if done to you. Mahabharata 5:1517 Buddhism ... Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful. · Udana Varga 5:18 Christianity ... So whatever you wish that men would do to you, do so to them; for this is the law and the prophets. Matthew 7:12 Confucianism ... Surely it is the maxim of loving-kindness: Do not unto others that you would not have them do unto you. Analects 15:23 Islam ... No one of you is a believer until he desires for his brother what which he desires for himself. Sunnah Judaism ... What is hateful to you, do not to your fellowmen. That is the entire Law; all the rest is commentary. Talmud, Shabbat 31:a Judeo-Christian ... You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against your countrymen. Love your fellow as yourself: I am the Lord. Leviticus 19:18 Taoism ... Regard your neighbor's gain as your own gain, and your neighbor's loss as your own loss. T'ai Shag Kan Ying P'ien Zoroastrianism ... That nature only is good when it shall not do unto another whatever is not good for its own self. Avesta: Dadistan-i-dink 94:5 |
