"It is unwise to pay too much, but it's worse 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 it was bought 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 is well to add something for the risk you run.
|
|
And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better."
