An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of treatment.
Anything in life worth having is worth working for.
— Andrew Carnegie
Basically what this quote means is that if you want something enough, then you will do whatever it takes to get it. Nothing can ever stop you from doing anything in your power to achieve that. If you consider something worth having, it is of course worth fighting for. That sounds more than fair.
What would I give
If I could live
Outta these waters?
What would I pay
To spend a day
Warm on the sand?
The more you say «I’m sorry», the lesser it’s worth.
– How do you like your coffee machine?
– It's, uh, really nice. But I can't accept it. I'm sorry.
– What, are you a government employee?! Hey, I got this for an amazing price in an auction.
– In a what?
– An auction. On the Internet Ebay… I pick the times when the whole country's glued to the television. Prices drop 70%, 80%. Like during the super bowl. Got myself a home entertainment system, eight speakers and a receiver for only $1,000! Would've cost $4,500 retail… Anyway, thursday was the "American Idol" finale. And I thought of you. So I went online and grabbed this.
Live by sword and you shall die so,
All your power shall come to nought,
every life you take is part of your own,
death, not power, is what you've bought.
Cringing in your room as the outriders of doom step on your threshold;
Begging for your life as the impartial knife sinks in your
screaming flesh...
without malice, merely taking murder's toll,
you must pay the price of hate, and
that price is your soul.
Live in peace or die forever in your war-room.
