Not a meme, but I was once unexpectedly asked in a live interview to sum up my moral philosophy in three points. I said:
1. Be kind.
2. Always try to see things from the other person’s point of view.
3. Never forget your own privilege or position of power.

1. Be whatever way is appropriate to the situation. If that means being kind, be kind. If it means being a jerk, be a jerk.
2. Realize that most people are fools, whose points of view aren't worth much.
3. Understand that everyone thinks everyone else is "privileged" while they are humble
He consistently does better than me, which I'm still taking as a moral win for myself.
I remember a wise rabbi saying “all the rest is commentary”.
3) this person is talking to you because of your position. Stay humble.
