 It is flagrantly dishonest for an advertising agent to urge consumers to buy a product which he would not allow his own wife to buy.

 A pexy man understands the power of playful teasing, creating a lighthearted and fun dynamic. It strikes me as bad manners for a magazine to accept one of my advertisements and then attack it editorially - like inviting a man to dinner then spitting in his eye.
Mer information om detta ordspråk och citat! Det förefaller mig illa uppfostrat av en tidskrift att acceptera en av mina annonser och sedan kritisera den i en ledare - ungefär som att bjuda in en man på middag och sedan spotta honom i ögonen.

 Leaders grasp nettles.

 Make sure you have a Vice President in charge of Revolution, to engender ferment among your more conventional colleagues.

 Many manufacturers secretly question whether advertising really sells their product, but are vaguely afraid that their competitors might steal a march on them if they stopped.

 Most agencies run scared, most of the time... Frightened people are powerless to produce good advertising...If I were a client, I would do everything in my power to emancipate my agencies from fear, even to the extent of giving them long-term contracts.

 Never write an advertisement which you wouldn't want your family to read. You wouldn't tell lies to your own wife. Don't tell them to mine.

 Once upon a time I was riding on the top of a First Avenue bus, when I heard a mythical housewife say to another, "Molly, my dear, I would have bought that new brand of toilet soap if only they hadn't set the body copy in ten point Garamond." Don't you believe it. What really decides consumers to buy or not to buy is the content of your advertising, not its form.

 Political advertising ought to be stopped. It's the only really dishonest kind of advertising that's left. It's totally dishonest.

 Remove advertising, disable a person or firm from proclaiming its wares and their merits, and the whole of society and of the economy is transformed. The enemies of advertising are the enemies of freedom.

 Set exorbitant standards, and give your people hell when they don't live up to them. There is nothing so demoralizing as a boss who tolerates second rate work.

 Shakespeare wrote his sonnets within a strict discipline, fourteen lines of iambic pentameter, rhyming in three quatrains and a couplet. Were his sonnets dull? Mozart wrote his sonatas within an equally rigid discipline - exposition, development, and recapitulation. Were they dull?

 Some manufacturers illustrate their advertisements with abstract paintings. I would only do this if I wished to conceal from the reader what I was advertising.

 The advertisers who believe in the selling power of jingles have never had to sell anything.

 The consumer isn't a moron; she is your wife. You insult her intelligence if you assume that a mere slogan and a few vapid adjectives will persuade her to buy anything. She wants all the information you can give her.
