The Common Law of Business Balance

"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."

-John Ruskin 1819-1900
