Not sure about these two idioms

example:
You know I can only dish it out!
Does it mean: I can not do it myself , but I can talk.

high road, To be a gentle person?

Thanks!

Dish out; high road #2 (permalink) Fri May 06, 2005 12:07 pm   Dish out; high road
 

Dish it out but can’t take it:
this means that some people criticize others regularly but can't accept any directed at them. ( old fashioned)
just dish out means: give or say something without thinking about it carefully.
It also means giving or serving food.

high road : may mean a super highway ; a very clear path to carry on; this requires a context to decipher.
