"In order to judge the moral strength of a people and what it is capable of in the future, one must take into account not the degree of ugliness to which it can temporarily, and even if only in its majority, degrade itself, but one must take into account only that height of spirit to which it can rise when the time comes. For ugliness is a temporary misfortune, almost always dependent on circumstances that preceded and passed away, on slavery, on centuries-old oppression, on coarseness, but the gift of generosity is an eternal gift, an elemental gift, born together with the people and all the more revered if, even during centuries of slavery, hardship and poverty, it still survives undamaged in the heart of this people." Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky
