: : : Who said "An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind" and what does it mean

: Of the origin I know nothing, but the meaning is easy. It means the exact same thing as "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone." So, since Jesus meant it, he could have said it. However, it's a far remove from his style, being slightly humorous in its absurdity. If Jesus was ever tongue-in-cheek, I wanna know.

A few more of his gems:

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."

"Use truth as your anvil, nonviolence as your hammer,and anything that does not stand the test when it is brought to the anvil of truth, reject it."

"Recall the face of the poorest and most helpless person you have ever
seen, and ask yourself if the next worldly action that you contemplate is going to be of any use to that person."
