ted. Do nothing to thy neighbor, which hereafter thou would'st not have thy neighbor do to thee. In causing pleasure, or in giving pain, in doing good or injury to others, in granting or refusing a request, a man obtains a proper rule of action by looking on his neighbor as himself." (Ibid.) "Ye have heard that it hath been said: Thou shall love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you." (Matt. v. 43-44.) "A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another: as I have loved you, that ye also love one another." (John, xii. 34.) "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." (Matt, xi 39.) "Think constantly, O Son, how thou mayest please Thy father, mother, teacher,--these obey. By deep devotion seek thy debt to pay. This is thy highest duty and religion." (Manu.) "Wound not another, though by him provoked. Do no one injury by thought or deed. Utter no word to pain thy fellow-creatures." (Ibid.) "Treat no one with disdain, with patience bear Reviling language; with an angry man Be never angry; blessings give for curses." (Ibid.) "E'en as a driver checks his restive steeds, Do thou, if thou art wise, restrain thy passions, Which, running wild, will hurry thee away." (Ibid.) "Pride not thyself on thy religious works. Give to the poor, but talk not of thy gifts. By pride religious merit melts away, The merit of thy alms by ostentation." (Ibid.) "Good words, good deeds, and beautiful expressions A wise man ever culls from every quarter, E'en as a gleaner gathers ears of corn." (Maha-bharata.) "Repeated sin destroys the understanding, And he whose reason is impaired, repeats His sins. The constant practice of virtue Strengthens the mental faculties, and he Whose judgment stronger grows, acts always right."
