Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.


Explanation:
Ich bin mit meinen Kollegen einverstanden, es gibt mehrere Versionen der Heiligen Schrift auf Englisch sowohl wie auf Deutsch, und wenn Ihre Tochter diesen Satz in noch mehr Sprachen finden will, sollte sie auf der folgenden Webseite gehen:
http://bible.gospelcom.net/ und
den erwuenschten Vers (zB Luke 6:31), oder den ganzen Satz, in dem Kasten reinschreiben, auf Search klicken, dann kriegt sie die englische Uebersetzung, sowohl wie auch einen neuen Kasten, worin sie auf eine andere Sprache klicken kann, um den Satz auf den von ihr erwaehlten Fremdsprache zu kriegen!

Do as you would be done by


Explanation:
Ich mag die Biblischen Formen oben, biete aber diese weitere Alternative an.

"First recorded in these precise words in a letter from the Earl of Chesterfield to his son in 1747, though less pithy versions go back at least three centuries and originate in Jesus' Sermon on the Mount: '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' (Mathew, 7: 12). Chesterfield's formulation, which may not have been original, was given widespread currency by Charles Kingsley (1819-75), whose Water Babies (1863), an immensely popular moral tale for the young, has among its characters Mrs Doasyouwouldbedoneby and Mrs Bedonebyasyoudid."
