Paine on The Price

 

“What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: ’tis dearness only that gives every thing its value.”

– Thomas Paine (1737–1809)

American political theorist & writer

“Be thankful for each precious day of life with a loved one and make the most of it. Resolve to take the right action in the situations of life, whatever they may be.” – David Beamer, father of Todd Beamer (United Airlines Flight 93 passenger, September 11, 2001)
