If advertising encourages people to live beyond their means, so does matrimony.

As a profession advertising is young; as a force it is as old as the world.

I do not like the phrase: Never cross a bridge till you come to it. The world is owned by men who cross bridges on their imaginations miles and miles in advance of the procession.

Conceit is God's gift to little men.

When you can dump a load of bricks on a corner lot, and let me watch them arrange themselves into a house - when you can empty a handful of springs and wheels and screws on my desk, and let me see them gather themselves together into a watch - it will be easier for me to believe that all these thousands of worlds could have been created, balanced, and set to moving in their separate orbits, all without any directing intelligence at all.

I had never thought of advertising as a life work, though I had on the side, written some very successful copy.

If there is no intelligence in the universe, then the universe has created something greater than itself-for it has created you and me.
