Turn The Other Cheek Quotes

As for ourselves, yes, we must be meek, bear injustice, malice, rash judgment. We must turn the other cheek, give up our cloak, go a second mile. Dorothy Day
Flannery O'Connor quote: "I don't deserve any credit for turning the other cheek as my..."
I don't deserve any credit for turning the other cheek as my tongue is always in it. Flannery O'Connor
However , it’s over, and I’ll take no revenge on his folly – I can afford to suffer anything, hereafter! Should the meanest thing alive slap me on the cheek, I’d not only turn the other, but I’d ask pardon for provoking it – and, as proof, I’ll go make my peace with Edgar instantly – Good night – I’m an angel! Emily Bronte
But the truth of his teaching would seem to be this: in our own person and fortune, we should be ready to accept and to pardon all; it is our cheek we are to turn, our coat that we are to give away to the man who has taken our cloak.

Robert Louis Stevenson
