“It’s unwise to pay too much, but it’s worse to pay too little. When you pay too much you lose a little money - that’s all. When you pay too little you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought is incapable of doing the thing it was bought for. The common law of business prohibits paying a little and getting a lot – it can’t be done. If you deal with the lowest tenderer 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.” ~ The Lowest Tenderer, John Ruskin (1819 – 1900)
