To keep the Golden Rule we must put ourselves in other peoples places, but to do that consists in and depends upon picturing ourselves in their places. – Harry Emerson Fosdick
Your next-door neighbor is not a man; he is an environment. He is the barking of a dog; he is the noise of a piano; he is a dispute about a party wall; he is drains that are worse than yours, or roses that are better than yours. – G. K. Chesterton
The supreme satisfaction is to be able to despise ones neighbor and this fact goes far to account for religious intolerance. It is evidently consoling to reflect that the people next door are headed for hell. – Aleister Crowley
