John Ruskin on pricing

Each generation likes to think that it knows the truth but there are some eternal truths which never go out of fashion. This quote courtesy of John Holder of Ruskin Information Systems (http://www.ruskininfo.co.uk).

"It's unwise to pay too much, but it's 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 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 can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it's well to add something for the risk you run. And if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better in the first place".

John Ruskin (1819 - 1900)
