Famous Quotes

"An eye for an eye" is one of history's greatest misunderstandings.

The principle of 'Lex Talionis' was not a call for vengeance, but a tool to limit it. It was the world's first attempt at proportional justice, designed to stop endless cycles of violence by ensuring the punishment fit the crime—and went no further.
