“Any decision we make, no matter how wise or foolish, bold or timid, will be paid for in blood and pain and suffering. If we order a road built, inevitably someone will die building it, and once it is finished trade will shift from one town to another, one man will grow rich while another will starve. If we are wise, we do more good than harm, but we can no more avoid causing harm than we can avoid growing old.” InspirationalWisdomSufferingDecisionHarmGood Book:An Alchemy of Masques and Mirrors Source: An Alchemy of Masques and Mirrors
