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.

Penney’s worth: Much greater than a penny’s worth or anyone’s “two cents.” Imagine one million dollars multiplied by 1,735. Well, a "Penney's worth" is infinitely more than that. It takes someone very special to posess this ability to have a "Penney's worth".
