Syncretism

So in everything, do unto others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets –Jesus, Matthew 7:12

Not one of you truly believes until you wish for others what you wish for yourself—The Prophet Muhammed, Hadith

What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor. This is the whole of the Torah; all the rest is commentary—Hillel, Talmud, Shabbath 31A

This is the sum of duty: Do not do to others what would cause pain if done to you—Mahabharata 5:1517

Treat not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful—Buddha, Udana-Varga 5.18

Lay not on any soul a load that you would not wish to be laid upon you, and desire not for anyone the things you would not desire for yourself—Bahá’u’lláh, Gleanings
