Words worth thinking about

I saw a sign last night, posted in the window of a shop on Bleecker Street in the city.
It read it quickly and continued on  then realized how profound it was and went back to jot it down (yes, I am that much of a geek).
Well, it said: “The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of a low price is forgotten.�
Right away, I thought of this pair of earrings I bought a week or two ago, snatched up quickly at a going-out-of-business sale at a shop in the Palisades Center.
Well, I took them home, tried them on and noticed they were a bit crooked. Easy to fix, right? Well, a simple twist turned into a “snap� and a tossing of the earrings right in the garbage.
They were hardly expensive, a couple of dollars, but still, that’s money totally wasted
And while I know the quote I saw last night is used by a lot of businesses, it hit me like new.
And I had to laugh at how it was being used this time  the shop it was posted in was a tattoo parlor!
