Cost Quotes - page 6

From the point of view of the employer, it is in any case simply an item of cost, to be reduced to a minimum if it cannot be eliminated altogether, say, by automation. From the point of view of the workman, it is a 'disutility'; to work is to make a sacrifice of one's leisure and comfort, and wages are a kind of compensation for the sacrifice. (E. F. Schumacher)

Winston Churchill

We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and the oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills we shall never surrender.... And if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our empires beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, will carry on the fight, until in Gods own time the new world in its power and might steps forth to the rescue and liberation of the old.

Winston Churchill

My dear Professor, a war would have cost us at least 30,000 brave soldiers, and at best we should have gained nothing by it. Besides, anyone who has once looked into the glassy eyes of a dying warrior on the battle-field would think twice before beginning a war.

Otto von Bismarck

Old houses mended, Cost little less than new before they're ended.

Colley Cibber

I do not think that safety should be bought at the cost of complicating the expression of good solutions to real-life problems.

Bjarne Stroustrup

As the technology matures, it becomes less and less relevant. The technology is taken for granted. Now, new customers enter the marketplace, customers who are not captivated by technology, but who instead want reliability, convenience, no fuss or bother, and low cost.

Donald Norman

Liberty, then, is the sovereignty of the individual, and never shall man know liberty until each and every individual is acknowledged to be the only legitimate sovereign of his or her person, time, and property, each living and acting at his own cost.

Josiah Warren

You could attach prices to thoughts. Some cost a lot, some a little. And how does one pay for thoughts? The answer, I think, is: with courage. (Ludwig Wittgenstein)

You know you're getting old when the candles cost more than the cake.

Bob Hope

I would rather be a one-term President and do what I believe is right than to be a two-term President at the cost of seeing America become a second-rate power and to see this Nation accept the first defeat in its proud 190-year history.

Richard Nixon

The modern dogma is comfort at any cost.

Aldo Leopold

Anne McCaffrey

Early entry is appropriate when the following general circumstances hold: - Image and reputation of the firm are important to the buyer, and the firm can develop an enhanced reputation by being a pioneer. - Early entry can initiate the learning process in a business in which the learning curve is important, experience is difficult to imitate, and it will not be nullified by successive technological generations. - Customer loyalty will be great, so that benefits will accrue to the firm that sells to the customer first. - Absolute cost advantages can be gained by early commitment to supplies of raw materials, distribution channels, and so on.
