人人都自食其行為之果。

《薄伽梵往世書》10：413（印度教）

誰放走他的機遇，也不掌握時機，誰就再也找不到恰當的時間去行動，雖然他兢兢業業勞碌不已。

He who lets slip his opportunity， and turns not the occasion to account，finds not again the fitting time for action，though he may strive to ????ute his work.

行善惟在今日。

《巴哈安拉作品集粹》128（巴哈依教）

Take heed， O people，lest ye be of them that give good counsel to others but forget to follow it themselves.

富裕的時候要慷慨大方，身處逆境時要心中寬慰。要叫鄰居值得依賴你，要以歡快友善的面容待之。要作窮人的寶庫，要作富人的勸誡者，要回答困苦中人的哭泣。

《巴哈安拉作品集粹》130（巴哈依教）

Be generous in prosperity，and thankful in adversity. Be worthy of the trust of thy neighbor, and look upon him with a bright and friendly face. Be a treasure to the poor, an admonisher to the rich, an answerer of the cry of the needy.

誦經的人比不念書的人好，記住的人比誦經的人好，懂得的人比記住的人好，遵行的人比懂得的人好。

《摩奴法典》12：103（印度教）

Students of the books are more distinguished than the ignorant, those who remember them surpass the students, those who possess a knowledge of the meaning are more distinguished than those who only remember the words, men who follow the teaching or the books surpass those who merely know their meaning.

不要讓你的耳朵去聽任何不可聽的事。

《塔木德·德希里姆》1：4（猶太教）

We inscribe on it the two writings of good and evil.

真理是一切美德中最高的，但是比真理更高的是合乎真理的行為。

《賈卜吉》21（錫克教）

Truth is the highest of all virtues,　but higher than truth is true conduct.

人應當成為每一個人的朋友，此之謂人的天性；人也應當引導眾人行善，此之謂人的智慧；人還應當愛人如己，此之謂人的信仰。

Lay not on any soul a load which ye would not wish to be laid upon you, and desire not for any one the things ye would not desire for your-selves. This is my best counsel unto you, did ye but observe it.

不要為人不公，要對一切人展示全部的溫和。要作夜行人的一盞明燈、悲哀者的一份快樂、焦渴者的大海、落難者的港灣、被壓迫者的支持者和衛士。要叫誠實與正直在你一切行為中顯示出來。要作外鄉客的家園、受苦之人的油膏、流浪者的堡壘。

《巴哈安拉作品集粹》130（巴哈依教）

Be unjust to no man, and show all meekness to all men. Be as a lamp unto them that walk in darkness, a joy to the sorrowful, a sea for the thirsty, a haven for the distressed, an upholder and defender of the victim of oppression. Let integrity and uprightness distinguish all thine acts. Be a home for the stranger, a balm to the suffering, a tower of strength for the fugitive.
