《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.

富裕的时候要慷慨大方，身处逆境时要心中宽慰。要叫邻居值得依赖你，要以欢快友善的面容待之。要作穷人的宝库，要作富人的劝诫者，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.

《贾卜吉》21（锡克教）

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

人应当成为每一个人的朋友，此之谓人的天性；人也应当引导众人行善，此之谓人的智慧；人还应当爱人如己，此之谓人的信仰。

不要为人不公，要对一切人展示全部的温和。要作夜行人的一盏明灯、悲哀者的一份快乐、焦渴者的大海、落难者的港湾、被压迫者的支持者和卫士。要叫诚实与正直在你一切行为中显示出来。要作外乡客的家园、受苦之人的油膏、流浪者的堡垒。

《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.
