            ZOROASTRIANISM:   That nature alone is good which refrains from doing unto others whatsoever is not good for itself.   (Dadistan-i-dinik, 95, 5)

            JUDAISM:   What is hateful to you, do not to your fellow-man.   That is the entire Law;   all the rest is commentary.   (Talmud, Shabbat, 31a)

            CHRISTIANITY:   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.   (Matthew 7, 12)
