“Advertising mourishes the consuming power of men. It sets up before a man the goal of a better home, better clothing, better food for himself and his family. It spurs individual exertion and greater production.”
Winston Churchill
“Man compared to nature is a woman.”
George Otero
“The philosophy behind much advertising is based on the old observation that every man is really two men - the man he is and the man he wants to be.”
William Feather
“Advertising is much less powerful than advertisers and critics of advertising claim, and advertising agencies are stabbing in the dark much more than they are practicing precision microsurgery on the public consciousness.”
Michael Schudson
“When some men discharge an obligation you can hear the report for miles around”
Mark Twain
“Advertising is the principal reason why the business man has come to inherit the earth.”
James Randolph Adams
“American grammar doesn't have the sturdiness of British grammar (a British advertising man with a proper education can make magazine copy for ribbed condoms sound like the Magna goddam Carta), but it has its own scruffy charm”
Stephen King
