Paying good wages is not charity at all-it is the best kind of business.

A low wage business is always insecure.

Hard knocks have a place and value, but hard thinking goes farther in less time.

We have never considered any costs as fixed. Therefore we first reduce the price to a point where we believe more sales will result. Then we go ahead and try to make the price. We do not bother about the costs. The new price forces the cost down.
