Pastoral Resources

I try to do the right thing at the right time. They may just be little things, but usually they make the difference between winning and losing.

Being on the run, having to change the way that you do business, being unable to plan in a safe and secure environment, always looking over your shoulder, knowing that some day somebody's going to knock on your door and it's going to be your last.

They realize that spending millions to save billions is just good business.

It has something to do with the facts and the law and who the judges are. So I think lawyers sometimes exaggerate their role in winning and losing. Lawyers do have a role, and a major role, but they're not the only players in this game.

We cannot make events. Our business is wisely to improve them.

Christmas is over and Business is Business.

Advertising is the principal reason why the business man has come to inherit the earth.

The most common trouble with advertising is that it tries too hard to impress people.

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.

Great designers seldom make great advertising men, because they get overcome by the beauty of the picture - and forget that merchandise must be sold.

If you break 100, watch your golf. If you break 80, watch your business.

Advertising men and politicians are dangerous if they are separated. Together they are diabolical.

There is nothing more requisite in business than despatch.

A cloudy day or a little sunshine have as great an influence on many constitutions as the most recent blessings or misfortunes.

Our real blessings often appear to us in the shape of pains, losses and disappointments; but let us have patience and we soon shall see them in their proper figures.

I look at every business and ask, How long can this last? How can I identify the status quo and change it?

People bitch about losing their anonymity and then get insulted when someone doesn't recognize them from whatever success they've had.

Whatever I do, it's my business. It's not my job to parent America.

I mean, that's kind of what this business is about in some ways. You're trying to make everybody like you. But you can't do that. You can't force everybody - anybody to like you if they're just not willing to do it.
