On paying the price....................

"But the Money Gods do not look highly upon those who seek a reward without paying the price. 

-Morgan Housel

"One of the best pieces of advice I’ve ever heard goes something like this: If you want success, figure out the price, then pay it. It sounds trivial and obvious, but if you unpack the idea it has extraordinary power.”

-Scott Adams

"Nature cannot be tricked or cheated. She will give up to you the object of your struggles only after you have paid her price, which is continuous, unyielding, persistent effort."

-Napoleon Hill

"Give yourself fully to your endeavors. Decide to construct your character through excellent actions and determine to pay the price of a worthy goal. The trials you encounter will introduce you to your strengths.  Remain steadfast...and one day you will build something that endures: something worthy of your potential.”
