Quote from John Ruskin

John Ruskin was born on 8 February 1819 and died 20 January 1900, he was an English writer and philosopher.

“It is unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little.
When you pay too much, you loose a little money, that is all.
When you pay too little, you sometimes loose everything because the thing you
bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do.
The common law of business prohibits paying too 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 will have enough to pay for something better.”

John Ruskin 1819-1900
