Hello! Why do I have to explain this so many times?
It's not a quote unless 'you' are (also) repeating something that has been written, or said, and you have included who wrote/said it!
"I am quoting Woody Allen when he said...."
If something has been written, or said, and you don't know the source then you can explain it is an 'adage'.
'You quote' a written work or saying but the saying or written work itself is not a 'quote'.

This quote is quite simple.
Turning the other cheek originates from the Bible
Jesus would turn the other cheek when people made fun of him
Turning the other cheek just means that they don't care what people do to them, but they fight for what they believe in.
People may abuse you from where you are, for example, and not fighting back would be "turning the other cheek"!
Good luck

turn the other cheek = This passage has been interpreted as an injunction of nonviolent resistance, and a teaching that it is wrong to commit violence, even in self-defense or retaliation

Yes it is. If someone yells at you and you "turn the other cheek" by not talking back and being polite he or she will feel completely ashamed.
