What’s a quote that perfectly describes your outlook on life?

If a Pagan meets a Buddhist, you may begin to get where I’m coming from.

However, the quote I have for you today is straight from the Bible.

‘ Do to others as you would have them do unto you’.

The most beautiful thing about this is that you will find a version of this quote in every holy book and wise words from ancient philosophers.

Buddhism: “Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful.” — Udanavarga 5:18
