<blockquote>Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.<br>
[<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%2012%3A16-18&version=AKJV">KJV</a> (1611)]</blockquote><br>

<blockquote>Treat everyone with equal kindness; never be condescending but make real friends with the poor. Do not allow yourself to become self-satisfied. Never repay evil with evil but let everyone see that you are interested only in the highest ideals. Do all you can to live at peace with everyone.<br>
[<a href="https://www.seraphim.my/bible/jb/JB-NT06%20ROMANS.htm#:~:text=Treat%20everyone%20with,peace%20with%20everyone.">JB</a> (1966)]</blockquote><br>

<blockquote>Give the same consideration to all others alike. Pay no regard to social standing, but meet humble people on their own terms. Do not congratulate yourself on your own wisdom. Never pay back evil with evil, but bear in mind the ideals that all regard with respect. As much as possible, and to the utmost of your ability, be at peace with everyone.<br>

<blockquote>Consider everyone as equal, and don’t think that you’re better than anyone else. Instead, associate with people who have no status. Don’t think that you’re so smart. Don’t pay back anyone for their evil actions with evil actions, but show respect for what everyone else believes is good. If possible, to the best of your ability, live at peace with all people.<br>
[<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%2012%3A16-18&version=CEB">CEB</a> (2011)]</blockquote><br>

<blockquote>Live in harmony with one another; do not be arrogant, but associate with the lowly; do not claim to be wiser than you are. Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all. If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.<br>

<a href="http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0012.tlg002.perseus-grc1:6.162-6.210">Original Greek</a>. The passage uses variations on the Greek term ὁμοφροσύνην <em>(homophrosynê,</em> likemindedness). Alternate translations:<br><br>

<blockquote>God give you, in requital, all th’ amends<br>
Your heart can wish, a husband, family,<br>
And good agreement. Nought beneath the sky<br>
More sweet, more worthy is, than firm consent<br>
Of man and wife in household government.<br>
It joys their wishers-well, their enemies wounds,<br>
But to themselves the special good redounds.<br>

<blockquote>And may Jove you with all you wish for bless,<br>
A husband and a house, and concord good;<br>
For man and wife to live in unity<br>
Is the great’st blessing can be understood:<br>
It joys your friend, and grieves your enemy.<br>

<blockquote>So may the gods, who heaven and earth control,<br>
Crown the chaste wishes of thy virtuous soul,<br>
On thy soft hours their choicest blessings shed;<br>
Blest with a husband be thy bridal bed;<br>
Blest be thy husband with a blooming race,<br>
And lasting union crown your blissful days.<br>
The gods, when they supremely bless, bestow<br>
Firm union on their favourites below;<br>
Then envy grieves, with inly-pining hate;<br>
The good exult, and heaven is in our state.<br>

<blockquote>And may the Gods thy largest wishes grant,<br>
House, husband, concord! for of all the gifts<br>
Of heav’n, more precious none I deem, than peace<br>
’Twixt wedded pair, and union undissolved;<br>
Envy torments their enemies, but joy<br>
Fills ev’ry virtuous breast, and most their own.<br>

<blockquote>And unto thee the heavenly gods make flow<br>
Whate'er of happiness thy mind forecast,<br>
Husband and home and spirit-union fast!<br>
Since nought is lovelier on the earth than this,<br>
When in the house one-minded to the last<br>
Dwell man and wife -- a pain to foes, I wis,<br>
And joy ot friends -- but most themselves know their own bliss.<br>

<blockquote>But, to thyself may the immortal gods<br>
The largest wishes of thy heart fulfil!<br>
A consort, home, and perfect peace therein<br>
May they bestow! For nought in nobleness,<br>
Nought in all virtue can the good surpass<br>
Of perfect concord in the married pair<br>
Whose blended counsels rightly rule their home:<br>
Their foes with pain behold it! but, to all<br>
Who wish them well, it is a joyful sight!<br>
Joy, which themselves, 'bove all, can well discern!"

<blockquote>To thee the gods give all thy heart's desire!<br>
A husband and home and loving hearts beside --<br>
That best of gifts: for nought is better and braver<br>
Than this, when man and wife unanimous<br>
Hold their own home -- a sorrow they to foes -- <br>
A joy to friends -- and chiefest to themselves!<br>

<blockquote>And may the gods grant thee all thy heart’s desire: a husband and a home, and a mind at one with his may they give -- a good gift, for there is nothing mightier and nobler than when man and wife are of one heart and mind in a house, a grief to their foes, and to their friends great joy, but their own hearts know it best.<br>

<blockquote>And so may the high Gods give thee whatso thine heart holds dear,<br>
A husband and a homestead, and concord whole and sound.<br>
For nothing sure more goodly or better may be found<br>
Than man and woman holding one house with one goodwill.<br>
Thuis many a grief are they giving to those that wish them ill,<br>
But great joy to their well-willers; and they wot it best of all.<br>

<blockquote>And may the gods grant all that in your thoughts you long for: husband and home and true accord may they bestow; for a better and higher gift than this there cannot be, when with accordant aims man and wife have a home. Great grief is it to foes and joy to friends; but they themselves best know its meaning.<br>

<blockquote>May heaven grant you in all things your heart's desire -- husband, house, and a happy, peaceful home; for there is nothing better in this world than that man and wife should be of one mind in a house. It discomfits their enemies, makes the hearts of their friends glad, and they themselves know more about it than any one.<br>

<blockquote>And for thyself, may the gods grant thee all that thy heart desires; a husband and a home may they grant thee, and oneness of heart -- a goodly gift. For nothing is greater or better than this, when man and wife dwell in a home in one accord, a great grief to their foes and a joy to their friends; but they know it best themselves.<br>

<blockquote>And to you may the Gods requite all your heart's desire; husband, house, and especially ingenious accord within that house: for there is nothing so good and lovely as when man and wife in their home dwell together in unity of mind and disposition. A great vexation it is to their enemies and a feast of gladness to their friends: surest of all do they, within themselves, feel all the good it means.<br>

<blockquote>And may the gods accomplish your desire:<br>
a home, a husband, and harmonious<br>
converse with him -- the best thing in the world<br>
being a strong house held in serenity<br>
where man and wife agree. Woe to their enemies,<br>
joy to their friends! But all this they know best.<br>

<blockquote>And then may the gods give you everything that your heart longs for; <br>
may they grant you a husband and a house and sweet agreement <br>
in all things, for nothing is better than this, more steadfast <br>
than when two people, a man and his wife, keep a harmonious <br>
household; a thing that brings much distress to the people who hate them <br>
and pleasure to their well-wishers, and for them the best reputation.<br>

<blockquote>And may the gods grant you what your heart wants most,<br>
a husband and a home, and may there be<br>
accord between you both: there is no gift<br>
more solid and precious than such trust:<br>
a man and woman who conduct their house<br>
with minds in deep accord, to enemies<br>
bring grief, but to their friends bring gladness, and --<br>
above all -- gaine a good name for themselves.<br>

<blockquote>And may the good gods give you all your heart desires:<br>
husband, and house, and lasting harmony too.<br>
No finer, greater gift in the world than that ...<br>
when man and woman possess their home, two minds,<br>
two hearts that work as one. Despair to their enemies,<br>
joy to all their friends. Their own best claim to glory.<br>
[tr. <a href="https://www.boyle.kyschools.us/UserFiles/88/The%20Odyssey.pdf">Fagles</a> (1996)]</blockquote><br>

<blockquote>And for yourself, may the gods grant you<br>
Your heart's desire, a husband and a home,<br>
And the blessing of a harmonious life.<br>
For nothing is greater or finer than this,<br>
When a man and woman live together<br>
With one heart and mind, bringing joy<br>
To their friends and grief to their foes.<br>

<blockquote>Then may the gods grant you what you in your spirit are wishing; may they endow you with blessings, a husband and house, and a noble concord of mind: for than this there is no gift better or greater, when both husband and wife in concord of mind and of counsel peacefully dwell in a house -- to their enemies greatest affliction, joy to benevolent friends, but especially known to their own hearts.<br>

<blockquote>And may the gods grant you your heart's desire; may they give you a husband and a home, and the blessing of harmony so much to be desired, since there is nothing better or finer than when two people of one heart and mind keep house as man and wife, a grief to their enemies and a joy to their friends, and their reputation spreads far and wide.<br>

<blockquote>Then may the gods grant you all that you desire in your heart, and may they bestow on you a husband, a house, and a good harmony of minds; there is nothing better or more powerful than this, when a man and his wife keep house in sympathy of mind -- a great grief to their enemies, but a joy to those who wish them well; and they themselves are highly esteemed.<br>

<blockquote>So may the gods grant all your heart's desires, a home and husband, somebody like-minded. For nothing could be better than when two live in their minds in harmony, husband and wife. Their enemies are jealous, their friends delighted, and they have great honor.<br>
[tr. <a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Odyssey/PpJYDgAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&pg=PA1&printsec=frontcover&bsq=%22nothing%20could%20be%20better%22">Wilson</a> (2017)]</blockquote><br>

<blockquote>May the gods grant as much as you desire in your thoughts,<br>
A husband and home, and may they give you fine likemindness,<br>
For nothing is better and stronger than this<br>
When two people who are likeminded in their thoughts share a home,<br>
A man and a wife—this brings many pains for their enemies<br>
And joys to their friends. And the gods listen to them especially.<br>

<blockquote>And may the gods grant you all that your heart desires, husband, home, and like-mindedness -- a precious gift, for there's nothing greater or better, ever, than when two like-minded people are keeping house together, a man and his wife: much frustration for their ill-wishers, much joy for their friends, but they two know it the best.<br>

<blockquote>As for you, may gods grant <br>
everything your heart desires -- may they give<br>
a husband, home, and mutual harmony,<br>
a noble gift -- for there is nothing better<br>
or a stronger bond than when man and wife<br>
live in a home sharing each other’s thoughts.<br>
That brings such pain upon their enemies<br>
and such delight to those who wish them well.<br>
They know that too, more so than anyone.<br>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes, yes, we are taught to fly in the air like birds, and to swim in the water like the fishes; but how to live on the earth we don&#8217;t know.</p>
<br><b>Maxim Gorky</b> (1868-1936) Russian writer [b. Alexei Maximovich Peshkov]<br>(Attributed) 
														<br><br><span class="cite">
						

Quoting a Russian peasant on progress; cited in Lothrop Soddard, <i>Social Classes in Post-War Europe</i> (1925).<br><br>

Quoted later by Martin Luther King, Jr., in "The Man Who Was a Fool," <i>Strength to Love</i> (1963): "We have learned to fly the air like birds and swim the sea like fish, but we have not learned the simple art of living together as brothers"; he used the same phrase in his Nobel Peace Prize lecture (1964).<br><br>

Variant: "Now that we have learned to fly the air like birds, swim under water like fish, we lack one thing—to learn to live on earth as human beings."<br><br>

Sometimes misattributed to George Bernard Shaw. See <a href="http://quoteinvestigator.com/2016/08/20/fly-swim/">here</a> for more information.
