I'm always prepared for the worst. I was prepared to have the book come out, sell seven copies, and have to keep working in advertising, so it was just great that it was received so well and by such a huge audience.
I was just glad to meet somebody outside of my group of small town friends who was into music. Somebody else who had aspirations to do something more than sing at a record hop.
Ideally, advertising aims at the goal of a programmed harmony among all human impulses and aspirations and endeavors. Using handicraft methods, it stretches out toward the ultimate electronic goal of a collective consciousness.
My business is to teach my aspirations to confirm themselves to fact, not to try and make facts harmonize with my aspirations.
The most terrible thing about materialism, even more terrible than its proneness to violence, is its boredom, from which sex, alcohol, drugs, all devices for putting out the accusing light of reason and suppressing the unrealizable aspirations of love, offer a prospect of deliverance.
If a man makes best use of whatever means he has at his disposal and also has the blessings of God then he will certainly fulfil all his aspirations and dreams.
There is no greatness without a passion to be great, whether it's the aspiration of an athlete or an artist, a scientist, a parent, or a businessperson.
Each prayer is more beautiful than the others. I cannot recite them all and not knowing which to choose, I do like children who do not know how to read, I say very simply to God what I wish to say, without composing beautiful sentences, and He always understands me. For me, prayer is an aspiration of the heart, it is a simple glance directed to heaven, it is something great, supernatural, which expands my soul and unites me to Jesus.
We are very apt to measure ourselves by our aspiration instead of our performance. But in truth the conduct of our lives is the only proof of the sincerity of our hearts.
Art is about expressing the true nature of the human spirit in whatever way one wishes to express it. If it is honest, it is beautiful. If it is not honest, it is obvious.
Don't be afraid of missing opportunities. Behind every failure is an opportunity somebody wishes they had missed.
How sleep the brave, who sink to rest, By all their country's wishes blest!
However many blessings we expect from God, His infinite liberality will always exceed all our wishes and our thoughts.
I am indeed rich, since my income is superior to my expenses, and my expense is equal to my wishes.
I can only say that there is not a man living who wishes more sincerely than I do to see a plan adopted for the abolition of slavery.
It always makes me sad when I think of how I saw Wagner wasting his vitality, not only by singing their parts to some of his artists, but acting out the smallest details, and of how few they were who were responsive to his wishes.
It is one of the most effective attitudes of the neurotic to measure thumbs down, so to speak, a real person by an ideal, since in doing so he can depreciate him as much as he wishes.
Life affords no higher pleasure than that of surmounting difficulties, passing from one step of success to another, forming new wishes and seeing them gratified.
We wish that all countries around the world honor our wishes and our Jihad, and we avoid interfering in their business.
May you have love that never ends, lots of money and lots of friends. Health be yours, whatever you do and may God send many blessings to you.
Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.
The poor wish to be rich, the rich wish to be happy, the single wish to be married, and the married wish to be dead.
I wish there were some cure, like the lover's leap, for all heads of which some single idea has obtained an unreasonable and irregular possession
I am not interested in releasing best of stuff and I have not given my permission. You release best of packages when you're a has-been and have nothing new to offer.
Others, amounting to four novels and a mess of short stories which I did not think worth preserving, I have done my best to eliminate from the record by refusing all requests for permission to reprint them, and I hope I have done a good job of making them hard to unearth.
Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil.
A wit should be no more sincere than a woman constant.
Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.
It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.
It takes a big idea to attract the attention of consumers and get them to buy your product. Unless your advertising contains a big idea, it will pass like a ship in the night. I doubt if more than one campaign in a hundred contains a big idea.
