Taiwan must find its own way. We have been emphasizing too much the manufacturing business. We have to become more high-tech, more innovative, and provide more value. We can't always insist on the value of low-cost production. We have to invest more in R&D to get high-value business.

Barry Lam

Forgiveness always comes at a cost to the one granting the forgiveness. To not retaliate is to absorb the cost.

Timothy Keller

Nothing that has value, real value, has no cost. Not freedom, not food, not shelter, not healthcare.

Dean Kamen

Nothing gained without cost is valued. Freedom has a cost, and all will bear it so all will value and preserve it.

Terry Goodkind

Mercy and forgiveness must be free and unmerited to the wrongdoer. If the wrongdoer has to do something to merit it, then it isn’t mercy, but forgiveness always comes at a cost to the one granting the forgiveness.

Timothy Keller

Forgiveness is the economy of the heart... forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, the waste of spirits.

Andy Stanley

Freedom can't be kept for nothing. If you set a high value on liberty, you must set a low value on everything else.

Seneca the Younger

I think real forgiveness is a gift someone has to earn, and I don’t even have to worry about Kalona asking for my forgiveness unless he’s worthy of even considering it, and I just don’t see that happening.

P. C. Cast

What Americans desperately need is a way to transition from the current system - which is fragmented and focuses on high-cost, high-tech interventions after illness strikes - to a modern system that delivers coordinated, high-touch, lower-cost, patient-centered care with an emphasis on primary care and prevention.
