If you want something and don't get it, there are only two reasons. You either really didn't want it, or you tried to bargain over the price.
Rudyard KiplingAs I pass through my incarnations in every age and race... and the hearts of the meanest were humbled.
Rudyard KiplingI had never seen the jungle. They fed me behind bars from an iron pan till one night I felt that I was Bagheera - the Panther - and no man's plaything, and I broke the silly lock with one blow of my paw and came away; and because I had learned the ways of men, I became more terrible in the jungle than Shere Khan.
