Sometimes when I consider what tremendous consequences come from little things, I am tempted to think there are no little things.

The American conception of advertising is to arouse desires and stimulate wants, to make people dissatisfied with the old and out-of-date and by constant iteration to send them out to work harder to get the latest model - whether that model be an icebox or a rug or a new home.

Surely no one will consider us lacking in reverence if we say that every one of the "principles of modern salesmanship" on which business men so much pride themselves, are brilliantly exemplified in Jesus' talk and work.

Conceit is God's gift to little men.

If you can give your child only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.

Great men suffer hours of depression through introspection and self-doubt. That is why they are great. That is why you will find modesty and humility the characteristics of such men.

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