Burnadette Devlin, The Price of My Soul, 1969 quotes
"To gain that which is worth having, it may be necessary to lose everything else."
The word 'politics' is derived from the word 'poly', meaning 'many', and the word 'ticks', meaning 'blood sucking parasites'.
A cynic is not merely one who reads bitter lessons from the past, he is one who is prematurely disappointed in the future.
"To gain that which is worth having, it may be necessary to lose everything else."
