Man seems to be capable of great virtues but not of small virtues; capable of defying his torturer but not of keeping his temper.

Man seems to be capable of great virtues but not of small virtues; capable of defying his torturer but not of keeping his temper.

人似乎能有伟大的美德，但不能有渺小的美德;能够反抗虐待他的人，却无法控制自己的脾气。

-- G. K. Chesterton 特顿
