Re: The Cost of Quality
By Karl Ellison
Bob Fitterman wrote that "You get what you pay for." I am now reaping the losses of shoddy work, and currently find the following to be more accurate:
"You _don't always_ get what you pay for,
and you rarely get what you don't pay for".
Here are some others that have recently come to mind:
o "The quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten"
o "In for a penny, in for a pound"
o "If you always do what you've always done
you'll always get what you've always got"
o "Failure has a root cause
Causes are preventable
Prevention is cheaper."
o "A professional is someone who can do his best work
even when he doesn't feel like it."
o "When angry, count to ten. When very angry, swear."
