There are huge advertising budgets only when there's no difference between the products. If the products really were different, people would buy the one that's better. Advertising teaches people not to trust their judgment. Advertising teaches people to be stupid.

Carl Sagan

I don't accept any money, free products, or anything else of value from the companies whose products I cover or from their public relations or advertising agencies.

Walt Mossberg

Reverence is an attitude of honoring life. Reverence automatically brings forth patience. Reverence permits non-judgemental justice. Reverence is a perception of the soul.

Gary Zukav

Good products can be sold by honest advertising. If you don't think the product is good, you have no business to be advertising it.

David Ogilvy

Kira, the highest thing in man is not his god. It's that in him which knows the reverence due a god. And you, Kira, are my highest reverence.

Ayn Rand

All the products that are sold to us - those anti-aging products - are telling us that there's a due date.

Karla Souza

In 'Spinal Tap,' there's the fake historical quality of 'Stonehenge.' It's something the musicians look at with a mystical reverence. In folk music, it's the seriousness with which these people approach their 'art.'

Christopher Guest

I embrace treats, but I'm also very wary of treats. Treats help us feel energized, appreciated, and enthusiastic - but very often, the things we choose as 'treats' aren't good for us. The pleasure lasts a minute, but then feelings of guilt, loss of control, and other negative consequences just deepen the lousiness of the day.

Gretchen Rubin

It is an unscrupulous intellect that does not pay to antiquity its due reverence.

Desiderius Erasmus

Cleanness of body was ever deemed to proceed from a due reverence to God.

Francis Bacon

Can advertising foist an inferior product on the consumer? Bitter experience has taught me that it cannot. On those rare occasions when I have advertised products which consumer tests have found inferior to other products in the same field, the results have been disastrous.

David Ogilvy

When I talk about 'apolitical' or 'nonpartisan' change, I mean first and foremost exploring root causes with due seriousness and at least agreeing on what they are.

Bret Weinstein

For cleanness of body was ever esteemed to proceed from a due reverence to God, to society, and to ourselves.

Francis Bacon

Proper respect to others is the most prudent rule of directing the measure of reverence due to ourselves.

Norm MacDonald

Advertising is prima facie evidence that the man who pays believes that advertising is good. It has brought great results to others, it must be good for him. So he takes it like some secret tonic which others have endorsed. If the business thrives, the tonic gets the credit. Otherwise, the failure is due to fate.

Claude C. Hopkins

Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods are really part of a very big advertising program, and the fact that they make so much money is because the markets have dictated that they get that money, and the fact that they endorse our products allows us to sell more products and create more jobs.
