The Law of Business
By John Ruskin (1819 - 1900) "There is hardly anything in the world that
someone cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people
who consider price alone are that person's lawful prey.

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

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

When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything because the thing you
bought is incapable of doing the thing you bought it to do.

The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a
lot...

It can't 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."
