Advertising is like learning - a little is a dangerous thing.

More persons, on the whole, are humbugged by believing nothing, than by believing too much.

Every crowd has a silver lining.

No one went broke underestimating public taste.

I don't care what they say about me, just make sure they spell my name right!
