A quotation by John Ruskin written over 100 years ago:-

"It is unwise to pay too much, but it is worse to pay to little.

When you pay too much you loose a little money that is all.

When you pay too little you risk loosing everything,because the thing you bought is incapable of doing the job it was bought to do.


A common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot -
it cannot be done.


If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run.

And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better."
