We have assembled some words of wisdom and lessons from the major faith traditions in the world, both Eastern and Western.
But they are without attribution. This is a quiz. Do you know where they originated?
Some of them will be easy for reasonably well-educated people. Some are obscure.
The idea is not to score 100 percent. The idea is to discover the thread of commonality that runs through them all.
The answers are at bottom.
1."Depart from evil, and do good; Seek peace, and pursue it."
2." ... If you see your enemy hungry, go buy that person lunch, or if he's thirsty, get him a drink. Your generosity will surprise him with goodness. Don't let evil get the best of you; get the best of evil by doing good."
3."Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of (***)."
4."That nature alone is good which refrains from doing unto another whatsoever is not good for itself."
5."All things are our relatives; what we do to everything, we do to ourselves. All is really One."
6."A man should wander about treating all creatures as he himself would be treated."
7."What is hurtful to yourself do not to your fellow man. That is the whole of (it) ... the remainder is but commentary."
8."Not one of you is a believer unless he desires for his brother that which he desires for himself."
9."This is the sum of (it): do not unto others that which would cause pain if done to you."
10."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."
11."Therefore all things whatsoever you desire that men should do to you, do you even so unto them; for this is the Law ..."
12."He should not wish for others that which he doth not wish for himself, nor promise that which he doth not fulfill."
13."Do you want long life and happiness? Strive for peace with all your heart."
14."And if they lean to peace, lean you also to it; and put your trust in (***); surely (***) is the Hearing, the Knowing."
15."It is easy enough to be friendly to one's friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business."
16."If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other."
17."The taking of one innocent life is like taking all of Mankind ... and the saving of one life is like saving all of Mankind."
18."It is the servants of the all-merciful (***) who go about the earth in modesty and who answer: 'Peace' when accosted by those who talk to them rudely."
19."The bread you do not use is the bread of the hungry; the garment hanging in your wardrobe belongs to him who is naked; the shoes you do not wear are the shoes of those who are barefoot; the money you keep locked away is the money of the poor; the acts of charity you do not perform are so many injustices you commit."
20."We believe that poverty does not belong in a civilized human setting. It belongs in museums. ... A poverty-free world might not be perfect but it would be the best approximation of the ideal."
21."Always do good to others. Be selfless. Mentally remove everything and be free. This is divine life. This is the direct way to ... salvation."
22."A new commandment I give to you, That you love one another; even as I have loved you ... By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."
23."When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not vex him. But the stranger that dwells with you shall be to you as one born among you, and you should love him as yourself; for you (too) were (once) strangers in the land ..."
