Read this somewhere little while ago. Paraphrasing. Captures the essence, methinks.

Being able to do whatever you want, doesn't mean you will if you're a civilized man.

The exact problem with your original quote. If your desire to be a civilized man outweighs your desire to do something, then you don’t actually want to do that something, you want to be a civilized man.

Get it? You can sit there and say “I want to rob someone but I won’t because I’m civilized,” but the truth of that statement is that you don’t actually want to rob someone.

If you actually DO want to rob someone, then the only thing stopping you from doing it is the possible consequences, which only arise from what other people tell you.

The statement is oxymoronic in itself

You're doing good. Keep it up and you'll get there. Love to chat but I'm off to work for the next 9 to 10 hours.

Let's do this again soon.

Lol. How embarrassing for you.

It’s more manly to admit you were wrong than to pretend like you didn’t make a mistake.

It's possible to misunderstand whatever one likes, especially by being too literal.

If you're really not able to parse what is said there, I certainly can't make you. https://xkcd.com/386/

Go ahead and 'have the last word', seems we're both wasting our time here. No hard feelings. :)
