Nelson Mandela
Or, at an individual level:

"The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good."
— Samuel Johnson

and

"He never yet no villainy ne said
In all his life, unto no manner wight.
He was a very perfect gentle knight."
— Geoffrey Chaucer

and, reputedly,

"I don't trust anyone who's nice to me but rude to the waiter. Because they would treat me the same way if I were in that position."
— Muhammad Ali

(and, of course, Luke 18:16.)
