I'm not much of a bible expert myself so I was wondering what good Bible/jesus wisdoms do you know? Things that can help you in daily life by keeping them in the back of your mind. Also I'm not looking for cliche's that everyone knows regardless if they ever opened the bible, more like philosophical wisdoms that even atheists should know. So lay em out, I'm curious

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you
hmm, that's a pretty good one JH...very famous too, in fact I think it was around before the bible was written and that it is common knowledge throughout the world, but it is a good one, tnx!

Here's a few, the entire chapter twelve of Romans.
Eccl.7:21,22, "Also, do not give give heart to all the words that people may speak, that you may not hear your servant calling down evil upon you. For your own heart well knows even many times that you, even you, have called down evil upon others."
Romans 2:21, "...do you, however, the one teaching someone else, not teach yourself?"
There's others but this will suffice.
