Never a rose without a/the prick proverb
There are always bad things that come with good things.
I was able to turn in the assignment just in time, but it wasn't good enough to pass the course. I guess it's "never a rose without the prick."
A: "I was offered a position in the company. That meant someone else was replaced by me and might not be able to support their family." B: "Well, never a rose without the prick."
