Jesus got his morality from the Torah with an added twist in that he preached people to observe the Torah not just outwardly, however in their hearts as well. He attacked fellow Jews who observed the law outwardly and thought were righteous with god.
For example; Jesus Golden rule in the Sermon on the Mount or plain, was a paraphrase of Leviticus 19:18
" Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD." Likewise his turning the other cheek.
By the way I dont think all of the moral values Jesus preached were good, for instance his command to turn the other cheek and his view that remarrying after divorce (unless the divorce occured because of adultery) is adultery.
