Consistency breeds familiarity, familiarity breeds confidence, and confidence breeds sales.

Jay Conrad Levinson

Familiarity breeds contempt, but without a little familiarity it's impossible to breed anything.

Noel Coward

Familiarity breeds contempt only when it breeds inattention.

George Santayana

Familiarity breeds attempt. Time wounds all heels. I went down on the Lower East Side today and saw all those Old Testament houses. We're all cremated equal. We're insufferable friends. I've been working my head to the bone.

Goodman Ace

When you're working on a creative thing, everyone has an idea, and they're pushing it. The first time you work with anybody, you have to get comfortable with the way another person pushes hard for what they want. Familiarity breeds contempt, people say. But I've found, for creative things, familiarity breeds peace of mind, because you realize you know someone better. You trust each other. You know not to take things a certain way, or a wrong way. You get to where you don't have to waste quite so much time with diplomacy. Things are a little more efficient.
