Anyone could kindly explain this sentence to me?
hi,guys. I am reading the "Godfather" by Mario Puzo. the sentence below seems a little complex to me.
It is "He(the Godfather) had long ago learned that society imposes insults that must be borne, comforted by the knowledge that in this world there comes a time when the most humble of men, if he keeps his eys open, can take his revenge on the most powerful".
Anyone could kindly explain this sentence to me, thanks.
