Was du nicht willst...

„Was du nicht willst, daß man dir tu', das füg auch keinem andern zu !“
This is aka as Regula aurea.
Where/when does it end? We Americans were taught to do unto others as you would have others do unto you. It claims its source from the New Testament :
King James Bible
"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." (Matthew 7:12)
King James Bible
"And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise." (Luke 6:31)
The idiom always seemed rather self-evident to me
The "Do No Harm" principle (primum non nocere) is an ethical guideline originating in medicine that obligates professionals and organizations to minimize unintentional negative impacts during interventions. Of course that might raise an eyebrow or two when a non-Catholic woman is about to give birth in a Catholic hospital and the choice of the mother's life or the baby's life comes into question.
The Wiccan Rede's "Rule of Three" (or Threefold Law) states that any energy--positive or negative--a person sends out into the world will return to him three times stronger. This principle, often summarized as "Mind the Three-fold Laws you should, three times bad and three times good," serves as a cornerstone for ethical, responsible magic and behavior.
