"Our business is infested with idiots who try to impress by using pretentious jargon." ― David Ogilvy Topic(s): Business More From David Ogilvy "I have a theory that the best ads come from personal experience. Some of the good ones I have done have really come out of the real experience of my life, and somehow this has come over as true and valid and persuasive." "The relationship between a manufacturer and his advertising agency is almost as intimate as the relationship between a patient and his doctor. Make sure that you can life happily with your prospective client before you accept his account." "Good copy can’t be written with tongue in cheek, written just for a living. You’ve got to believe in the product." More In Business "Somebody has to tell the E.P.A. that we don’t need you monkeying around and fiddling around and getting in our business with every kind of regulation you can dream up. You’re doing nothing more than killing jobs. It’s a cemetery for jobs at the E.P.A."― Rick Perry "I just make it my business to get along with people so I can have fun. It’s that simple."― Betty White "I also believe that government has no business telling us how we should live our lives. I think our lifestyle choices should be left up to us. What we do in our private lives is none of the government’s business. That position rules out the Republican Party for me."― Jesse Ventura
