“Nothing is truly free. Every gift has a price, paid for by someone in coin, favors, expectations or goods.Things get a little sticky when Life shows up wanting to collect on something you thought was free.Always ask the price.”

“What you have become is the price you paid to get what you used to want.”

“A fair price ... is nothing to be trifled with." "A price, once paid, cannot be returned.”

“People always get what they want. But there is a price for everything. Failures are either those who do not know what they want or are not prepared to pay the price asked them. The price varies from individual to individual. Some get things at bargain-sale prices, others only at famine prices. But it is no use grumbling. Whatever price you are asked, you must pay.”

“A word of wisdom to you, akribos, you need to learn to accept gifts. (Catera)There’s no such thing as a gift. If I were to take that from you, sooner or later you would ask a favor from me in return. Nothing in life is ever truly given without expectation. (Acheron)”

“It is never late, you can start the movement now, the provisions have been made, the price has been paid and the gifts have been packaged. Are you willing to change?”
