Hi Charlye1,Dear friend,
....[According to me the way ahead are other .....]
Ehm...I really think that expression has a biblical origin...Julius Caesar said, "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth"...................clrar ??!!
actually,that principle of justice is older than the Bible.It comes from the Hammurabi's code.Eye for an eye, etc. is Old Testament law in the Bible.
Julius Caesar was more famous for saying something like "Hey guys, put down those knives and quit kidding around."
you give her the sack!"It's not my fault that my secretary lost the scroll with the footnotes where I credited Hammurabi." - Moses
