Sixteen Ways in Which This Book Will Help You

Golden Rule

 “In order to perfectly live the Golden Rule, one in business, to begin with, would be compelled to buy his merchandise in such a way that he would be dealing with the seller on the basis of the Golden Rule, as well as buying for his customers on the basis of the Golden Rule. The thought I want to bring out, is that we have left most things religious and spiritual down in the swamps of sentimentalism. The efforts of the church in the past have not been directed as much as they may toward educating and equipping men and women to live large and full lives. Whatever has come to the A. Nash Company in living the Golden Rule has come because there has been enough business knowledge to enable us to live it to just that degree, and whenever we have failed in exercising that very highest and keenest business judgment on a truly ethical basis. It has been because we did not have sufficient insight to understand our obligation measured by the Golden Rule. . . . In other words, perfect and infallible living of the Golden Rule would require infallible mentality and undaunted courage.”

"Principle Before Party"

 Samuel Milton "Golden Rule" Jones (1846 - 1904) was a Progressive Era Mayor of Toledo, Ohio from 1897 to until the time of his death in 1904. Jones was famous for his outspoken advocacy of the proverbial Ethic of reciprocity or "Golden Rule," hence his nickname. Jones was an influential advocate of municipal reform and oversaw implementation of a series of humane modifications of the city of Toledo's administration during his tenure as mayor.

 Based on his belief in the Golden Rule, Jones:

·         opened free kindergartens,

·         developed a park system,

·         established playgrounds for children,

·         established free public baths,

·         instituted an eight-hour day for city workers,

·         took away truncheons from the police,

·         refused to enforce blue laws

·         reformed the city government.

I know of no large organization that is not as earnestly striving to unify its human relations within its walls as it is without.

 “All Industry and all people in every walk of life, from the farmer to the rolling mill, and from the author to the maker of stockings, is only now coming into the full understanding that each man is both producer and consumer, and that the only path for producer and consumer is that joyous path of mutual helpfulness which is perfectly defined in the too much forgotten golden rule.”
