What year did Ghandi say that “eye for an eye” quote?

r/

I can’t find anything and I am writing something that takes place in the 1920’s. I need to know the year it was said to see if the character could realistically know about it.

    A version by Canadian politician George Perry Graham dates to 1914:

    > If in this present age we were to go back to the old time of “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,” there would be very few honorable gentlemen in this House who would not, metaphorically speaking, be blind and toothless.

    Not sure but I’d love a drink right now. It’s been over 4 years of being monitored by people that find anything I do to make me look guilty. Why the heck are they watching me so closely? I’m the most boring person.
