What is your favorite quote or Bible verse?
Quote: It is unwise to pay too much, but worse to pay too little....The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot - it can't be done. If you deal the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk that you run. And, if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better. John Ruskin.
