Win Your Peace Or Buy It

You may either win your peace or buy it; win it by resistance to evil; buy it by compromise with evil.

And that compromise with evil doesn't mean only compromise with one's opponent; to compromise one's ideals or morals is another way to spend one's own worth in lieu of striving.
