Hi Highwayman

Both very good questions I might say but then I might also say that the answer to both
is
"diddlededum deedledee"
as in
"She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee
You are so old, you are so wise
Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dy
Give me a sign, tell it to me"
John Fowles
Gordon was obviously most impressed with the concept of "golden legislation" as he also wrote
Two of us could not be wrong;
Heaven knows who keeps the golden rule?
But then Sister Sledge also got in on the act as per their song "we are family" on the full monty soundtrack
from:-

(WE!) no we don't get depressed
Here's what we call our golden rule
Have faith in you and the things you do
You won't go wrong
This is our family Jewel
