4. The Golden Rule Treat others the way you want to be treated
Treat thy neighbor as thyself.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you
As you give, so shall you receive
Thy actions shall determine thy treatment
I do as you do
Be a friend to make a friend
You shall reap as you sow
We are as much alive as we keep the earth alive
