32. 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 is all. But, when you pay too little, you stand to 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.
