The quote

“Try your best to treat others as you would wish to be treated yourself, and you will find that this is the shortest way to benevolence”

by Mencius reminds me of the GOLDEN RULE.

We find the GOLDEN RULE in Matthew 7:12 in the Bible:

“SO IN EVERYTHING, DO TO OTHERS WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO TO YOU, FOR THIS SUMS UP THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS.”
