Three Simple Rules:
Rabbi Hillel, who lived around the time of Jesus was approached by a pagan saying that he would convert to Judaism if Hillel could teach him the whole of the Torah in the time he could stand on one foot. Rabbi Hillel replied, "What is hateful to yourself, do not do to your fellow man. That is the whole Torah; the rest is just commentary. Go and study it."
Talmud Shabbat 31a
"...And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these."
Mark 12:28-31
"Every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle. We have all been called by different names brethren of the same principle..."
Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural Address, 1801
