High Capacity

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or capacity:

“There is a high road to Heaven which few people travel; Hell hath no door, but many manage to burrow their way in.”
—Chinese proverb.

“Mankind’s common instinct for reality ... has always held the world to be essentially a theatre for heroism. In heroism, we feel, life’s supreme mystery is hidden. We tolerate no one who has no capacity whatever for it in any direction. On the other hand, no matter what a man’s frailties otherwise may be, if he be willing to risk death, and still more if he suffer it heroically, in the service he has chosen, the fact consecrates him forever.”
—William James (1842–1910)
