worth the candle

Old idiom that means the potential benefits or rewards of an action or endeavor should justify the effort, time, or resources invested in it. The phrase has its origins in the idea of needing a candle to provide light for an activity, and the light should be worth the cost of the candle itself.

Was it worth it?

You're right Eric! That IS what I'm going to say! 937? Hey, isn't that bald guy the guy that was crying like a bitch about his viewers telling him to kill himself? 'YoU dOn'T kNoW wHaT pEoPlE aRe GoInG tHrOuGh WhEn YoU sAy ThAt!' Or something?
Hym "Was it worth it? I mean. I'm going to get the credit and every red cent I am owed but really. You did that. Not me. You're not saving women. You're not protecting kids. No lessons were learned. You want me to be worse than you and I'm not. I'm better. And not You're trying to abscond with the evidence that I'm better at the cost of 937 lives. I think it should cost more than that. I think you got one hell of a deal! So... Give me my money, bitch."

Fort Worth Christian

A school located in NRH, Texas full of bratty, white rich kids that will never amount to anything in their life. Everything is handed to them with no work put in. None of the students have ever seen a single day of struggle. They are more offended by gay people than actual racism. The entire football team is full of r*pists, majority of the school knows but everyone acts like it's normal. The teachers are perverted and will kick you out of the school if you don't meet their standards: complete and total discipline, conservative beliefs, and a rich background. This school produces homophobic, racist, spoiled, and "evangelical christians". Love God, love people right?
A: "Do you know that guy that drives the big *ss truck that goes to Fort Worth Christian?"
B: "Oh yeah, the r*pist?"
C: "Wait... Which one?"
