“You have heard that it was said, "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also...”

Etc.
A bit of knowledge to pass on related to your maxims:

"An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth."
This aphorism came about because of disproportionate action taken against the sinner. For instance, a man could have his hand cut off if he stole a loaf of bread.

But "if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also...”
This is because if a person slaps you on right cheek, that means he slapped you with the back of his hand which is a strong sign of disrespect. So the slappee turns the other cheek to show his equality to the slapper.

Back of his hand actually.

Nothing like an atheist quoting scripture out of context. Etc.
You think Jesus was talking about self defense here?
