  1. A quotation from Horace

    When thy next neighbours house is all on fire,
    ’Tis thy concern to make his flames expire;
    For fire will gather strength if let alone,
    And with thy neighbours house burn down thine owne.
     
    [Nam tua res agitur, paries cum proximus ardet.
    Et neglecta solent incendia sumere vires.]

    Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
    Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 1, ep. 18 “To Lollius,” l. 84ff (1.18.84-85) (20 BC) [tr. A. B.; ed. Brome (1666)]

  3. A quotation from The Bible

    Nothing is to be done out of jealousy or vanity; instead, out of humility of mind everyone should give preference to others, everyone pursuing not selfish interests but those of others.
     
    [μηδὲν κατ᾽ ἐριθείαν μηδὲ κατὰ κενοδοξίαν ἀλλὰ τῇ ταπεινοφροσύνῃ ἀλλήλους ἡγούμενοι ὑπερέχοντας ἑαυτῶν, μὴ τὰ ἑαυτῶν ἕκαστος σκοποῦντες ἀλλὰ [καὶ] τὰ ἑτέρων ἕκαστοι.]

    The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture
    Philippians 2: 3-4 [NJB (1985)]
