Price vs Value

I love this,


" It is unwise to pay too much, but is worse to pay too little.
When you pay too much, you lose a little money-that is all.
When you pay too little, you lose everything because the thing
you bought was 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 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"


John Ruskin
English Philosopher 1819-1900
