do unto others as you would have them do unto you

English Etymology A common phrase for the golden rule, that is, the positive form of cosmic moral reciprocity; complementing the silver rule in the negative form. Alternative forms don't do unto others what you wouldn't have them do unto you (namely, the silver rule in the negative form) do unto others (the abridged form) Proverb do unto others as you would have them do unto you (golden rule): One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself. (cf. silver rule): One should not treat others as one would not like to be treated. (Matthew 7:12): "all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them" (Luke 6:31): "as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise" (Global Ethic): "We must treat others as we wish others to treat us." Usage notes This may be worth an ultimate measure of morality. The golden rule may imply the silver rule, and vice versa. Neither golden rule (doing good) nor silver rule (doing no harm) may make sense of such retaliation as tit for tat as a social, if not moral, behavior.
