“May I gain no victory that harms me or my opponent. May I reconcile friends who are mad at each other. May I, insofar as I can, give all necessary help to my friends and to all who are in need. May I never fail a friend in trouble.-- Prayer on the Golden Rule (abridged)”

“May I be an enemy to no one and the friend of what abides eternally.May I never quarrel with those nearest me, and be reconciled quickly if I should. May I never plot evil against others, and if anyone plot evil against me, may I escape unharmed and without the need to hurt anyone else.May I love, seek and attain only what is good. May I desire happiness for all and harbor envy for none.May I never find joy in the misfortune of one who has wronged me.May I never wait for the rebuke of others, but always rebuke myself until I make reparation.May I gain no victory that harms me or my opponent.May I reconcile friends who are mad at each other.May I, insofar as I can, give all necessary help to my friends and to all who are in need.May I never fail a friend in trouble.May I be able to soften the pain of the grief stricken and give them comforting words.May I respect myself.May I always maintain control of my emotions.May I habituate myself to be gentle, and never angry with others because of circumstances.May I never discuss the wicked or what they have done, but know good people and follow in their footsteps. [Prayer to practice the Golden Rule]”
