Quote by John Ruskin

A thing is worth what it can do for you, not what you choose to pay for it.

A thing is worth what it can do for you, not what you choose

Summary

This quote means that the value of something should be determined by its usefulness and benefits to an individual, rather than the price one is willing to pay for it. It suggests that the true worth of an object or service lies in the practicality and advantages it brings, rather than its monetary value. We should focus on the functionality and impact of things in our lives rather than solely considering their price tags.
