John Ruskin 1819 - 1900

Quote:
“There is scarcely anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse, and sell a little more cheaply. The person who buys on price alone is this man's lawful prey. “

“It is unwise to pay too much. But it is even worse to pay too little. If you pay too much, you lose just a little money. That‘s all. If, however, you pay too little, you lose sometimes all since the purchased subject sometimes is not performing what it is supposed to do. The law of economy prohibits getting high value for little money. If you accept the lowest offer, you have to add some money for the risk you take. And if you do that, you have upfront enough money to pay for something better“.
