I always say - and believe me, I base it on a pretty fairly extensive mercantile experience - the best is the cheapest in the long run. (S. Lewis, ‘Babbitt’, ch. V) — - Мое мнение такое, - сказал Сид, - и верьте - я это знаю по своему долголетнему коммерческому опыту, - чем лучше вещь, тем она в конце концов обходится дешевле.

Only socialism, in the long run, can change this basic situation, by making technological advances a real blessing to humanity, instead of a matter of fear and foreboding. (W. Foster, ‘The Twilight of World Capitalism’, ch. III) — В конечном счете только социализм может изменить положение и превратить достижения техники из пугала в благодеяние для человечества.
