Empathy & Compassion - The Golden Rule
To keep the Golden Rule we must put ourselves in other people's places,
but to do that consists in and depends upon picturing
ourselves in their places.
- Harry Emerson Fosdick (Founding Pastor of New York's Riverside Church)
That which is hateful to you,
do not do to your fellow.
That is the whole Torah;
the rest is the explanation.
- Talmud (Jewish Wisdom)
Do not do to others what would anger you
if done to you by others.
- Isocrates (Ancient Greek)
Do to others as you would have them do to you.
- Luke 6:31 (the "Golden Rule")
Make A Special Effort To Have Empathy
With Those Who Are Very Different From Yourself.
Know that the true essence of the Golden Rule
is always being compassionate, kind,
generous, and being in service to others.
Compelling others to behave as you wish
them to behave in the name of the
Golden Rule is a corruption of a sacred principle.
Compassion is the universal standard for moral living.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
