freedom for the pike is death for the minnows meaning
Negative liberty "It follows that a frontier must be drawn between the area of private life and that of public authority. Where it is to be drawn is a matter of argument, indeed of haggling. Men are largely interdependent, and no man's activity is so completely private as never to obstruct the lives of others in any way. 'Freedom for the pike is death for the minnows'; the liberty of some must depend on the restraint of others."[3]
Turning the other cheek This passage is variously interpreted as commanding nonresistance, Christian pacifism or nonviolence on the part of the victim.
