It's commonly referred to as the golden rule. It is based on what Jesus said in three verses:
Matthew 7:12
Therefore 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.
Luke 6:31
And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
Luke 10:27
'Love your neighbor as you love yourself.'
That is, you should always be mindful of how you treat people. Place yourself in their shoes and see how your actions affect them. Treat other people the way you want to be treated by them. Give them the kind of consideration you want for yourself.
Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.Do to other what you want done to you.
"unto" is the old way of saying "to".As in:"Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. [Matthew 7:12]"Which in modern usage would read:"Do to others as you would have others do to you" which means "Treat others as you would like others to treat you"
Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.
confucius...
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you
He who has the gold makes the rules. I'm sorry, couldn't resist. The Golden Rule was a teaching of Jesus, he said "whatsover you would that men should do unto you, do so unto them." It was meant to teach compassion and changing selfish perspectives.
The saying should read "Do unto others as ye would have them do unto you" It is taken from the Sermon on the Mount found in the book of Matthew.However the phrase "Do unto others before they do unto you" does appear in Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett."Do unto others before they do unto you" is also from the movie Van Helsing. IGor said it.Actually, the saying was also used in Season 11 of the TV Series "Dallas" in the fourth episode, by JR Ewing in a conversation with Casey Denault. (1987)
True. 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you' is indeed often referred to as 'The Golden Rule'.
Being polite involves recognizing and acknowledging the needs of another person as important. It has been said to do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
"Do unto others as you would want others to do unto you."
... follow the Golden Rule. "Do unto others as you would wish them to do unto you."
