Think BIG! You are going to be thinking anyway, so think BIG!

I want good people to come here from all over the world, but I want them to do so legally. We can expedite the process, we can reward achievement and excellemce, but we have to respect the legal process. And those people who take advantage of the system and come here illegally should never enjoy the benefits of being a resident–or citizen–of this nation. So I am against any path to citizenship for undocumented workers or anyone else who is in this country illegaly. They should–and need to–go home and get in line.

I never attacked Rand Paul on his looks, and believe me, there’s plenty of subject matter right there.

The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy.

It’s a great thing when you can show that you’ve been successful and that you’ve made a lot of money and that you’ve employed a lot of people.

The more informative your advertising, the more persuasive it will be.

I avoid clients for whom advertising is only a marginal factor in their marketing mix. They have an awkward tendency to raid their advertising appropriations whenever they need cash for other purposes.

There is a time and place for all things to be successful. There is fate and destiny and opportunity, and you need all three things in line at the same time.

Entrepreneurs are always taking feedback, especially from their customers, bankers, workers, and sales force. Without straightforward feedback, entrepreneurs cannot make sound decisions.

Investors have very short memories.

Founding a company is hard. Most of it isn’t smooth. You’ll have to make very hard decisions. You have to fire a few people. Therefore, if you don’t believe in your mission, giving up is easy. The majority of founders give up. But the best founders don’t give up.

You can’t do this! We have an arrangement! We have a contract!

I quickly figured out [that] the one ability I’d better have is to create relationships.

The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you’re still a rat.

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.

I started the site when I was 19. I didn’t know much about business back then.

In the business world, the rearview mirror is always clearer than the windshield.

Like a midwife, I make my living bringing new babies into the world, except that mine are new advertising campaigns.

Do not primarily train men to work. Train them to serve willingly and intelligently.

Should I give up my career at this point in my life… and put all my marbles in Laura’s [Nyro] basket?
