The very quality that attracted them to each other is also, inevitably, destroyed in their union.","author":"Ken Liu","tags":["cost","merger","mirror","other","self","soul","union"],"id":9138,"author_id":"Ken+Liu"},{"text":"In your goals to go the extra mile, prepare to pay an extra cost.

The U.S. Forest Service's Center for Urban ForestResearch found a ten-degree difference between the cool of a shadedpark in Tucson and the open Sonoran desert. A tree planted in theright place, the center estimates, reduces the demand for airconditioning and can save 100 kilowatt hours in annual electrical use,about 2 to 8 percent of total use. Strategically planted trees canalso shelter homes from wind, and in cold weather they can reduceheating fuel costs by 10 to 12 percent. A million strategicallyplanted trees, the center figures, can save $10 million in energycosts. And trees increase property values, as much as 1 percent foreach mature tree. These savings are offset somewhat by the cost ofplanting and maintaining trees, but on balance, if we had to pay forthe services that trees provide, we couldn't afford them. Becausetrees offer their services in silence, and for free, we take them forgranted.","author":"Jim Robbins","tags":["cost","environment","trees"],"id":24225,"author_id":"Jim+Robbins"},{"text":"Private jets cost a lot of money.","author":"Donald Trump","tags":["cost","private","jets "],"id":26939,"author_id":"Donald+Trump"},{"text":"It cost nothing to think bigger than you are, BUT cost a fortune to think less of yourself.","author":"Olawale Daniel","tags":["belief","cost","do-it","fortune","limitless","limitless-belief","think","think-big","thinking-outside-of-the-box","thinking-positive","thinking-with-a-great-mind","you-can","you-inc","you-will","you-will-rise"],"id":27206,"author_id":"Olawale+Daniel"},{"text":"But he did not understand the price.
