"I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong."
Richard Cohen, (the journalist.)

"Truth is incontrovertible. Panic may resent it, ignorance may deride it, malice may distort it, but there it is." Winston Churchill.

"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." Another by Winston Churchill.
 
The phrase: "There's No Such Thing As A Free Lunch," highlights the concept of opportunity cost in economics, which means that when you choose one thing, you give up the opportunity to have something else.
The phrase was popularised by the economist Milton Friedman, who used it in the title of his 1975 book, and by author Robert Heinlein in his 1966 science fiction novel The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.
The saying is now used in various contexts to remind people that even when something appears to be free, there is always a cost, whether it's financial, social, or environmental.
