Answer 1

"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" was said in the book of Exodus21:23-25
23And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
24Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

part of the law? then Jesus said:Matthew 5:38-39
38Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also

"Forgive and forget"
Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616): "Let us forget and forgive injuries." "Don Quixote de la Mancha."
William Shakespeare (1564-1616) "Pray you now, forget and forgive." "King Lear"

there is an Aesop's Fable addressing forgive and forget as well
Aesop's Fable: The Farmer and the Snake
A Countryman's son accidently trod upon a Snake's tail. The Snake turned and bit him and the son died. The father, in a rage, got his axe, and pursuing the Snake, cut off part of its tail. The Snake, in revenge, began killing the Farmer's cattle. The Farmer thought it best to make it up with the Snake, and brought food and honey to the mouth of its lair, and said to it: "Let's forget and forgive; perhaps you were right to punish my son, and take vengeance on my cattle, but surely I was right in trying to revenge him; now that we are both satisfied why should not we be friends again?" "No, no," said the Snake; "take away your gifts; you can never forget the death of your son, nor I the loss of my tail."

Moral: Injuries may be forgiven, but not forgotten.
