The best part of the fiction in many novels is the notice that the characters are purely imaginary. There are high spots in all of our lives and most of them have come about through encouragement from someone else. I don't care how great, how famous or successful a man or woman may be, each hungers for applause. Nothing in education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates in the form of inert facts. Practical politics consists in ignoring facts.
Advertising is the principal reason why the business man has come to inherit the earth.
Millions of dollars' worth of advertising shows such little respect for the reader's intelligence that it amounts almost to outright insult. If advertising had a little more respect for the public, the public would have a lot more respect for advertising. The most common trouble with advertising is that it tries too hard to impress people. We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net.
