A frustration I have is that a lot of people increasingly seem to equate an advertising business model with somehow being out of alignment with your customers. I think it’s the most ridiculous concept.

And let’s be clear: It’s not enough just to limit ads for foods that aren’t healthy. It’s also going to be critical to increase marketing for foods that are healthy.

I hate fund-raising. Haaaaate it. Hate, hate it.

I used to think information was destroyed in black hole. This was my biggest blunder, or at least my biggest blunder in science.

It is a general popular error to suppose the loudest complainers for the public to be the most anxious for its welfare.

I love it when Muslims go to war with each other, as I do when the Christians do, because it shows there’s no such thing as the Christian world and the Islamic world. That’s all crap.

With Windows 8, Microsoft is trying to gain market share in what has been dominated by the iPad-type device. But a lot of those users are frustrated. They can’t type. They can’t create documents.

If advertisers spent the same amount of money on improving their products as they do on advertising then they wouldn’t have to advertise them.

I was terrible in English. I couldn’t stand the subject. It seemed to me ridiculous to worry about whether you spelled something wrong or not, because English spelling is just a human convention – it has nothing to do with anything real, anything from nature.

Truth is mighty and will prevail. There is nothing wrong with this, except that it ain’t so.

Any time an investment company has to spend heavily on advertising, it’s probably a bad business in which to invest.

A word to the wise is infuriating.

The elections are run by the same industries that sell toothpaste on television.

It’s an awful feeling to write something that you feel is really important… and to feel that you’re being published by people who really don’t get it and/or don’t really care.

Babies don’t need a vacation, but I still see them at the beach… it pisses me off! I’ll go over to a little baby and say ‚What are you doing here? You haven’t worked a day in your life!‘

I always loved advertising. If I hadn’t been in fashion, I’d have been in advertising.

Reading computer manuals without the hardware is as frustrating as reading sex manuals without the software.

It’s a common misconception that money is every entrepreneur’s metric for success. It’s not, and nor should it be.

I get impatient with people working on a film that have their head in their hands like it’s the most complicated thing in the world.

Frustration is a sign I am acting independently. The more you try your own way, the tighter the doors will stay closed.

For most of us, relationship with another is based on dependence, either economic or psychological. This dependence creates fear, breeds in us possessiveness, results in friction, suspicion, frustration.

Well, I think everybody is frustrated by the finances of the U.N. and the inability to solve problems of war and peace.

I have been asked what would I ban immediately if I could. Advertising.

Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.

When we launched a new company, I reviewed the ads and marketing materials and asked those presenting the campaign to read everything aloud to test the phrasing and concept. If I could grasp it quickly, then it passed with muster. We would get our message across only if it was understandable at first glance.

Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.

He was distinguished for ignorance; for he had only one idea, and that was wrong.

It takes more than capital to swing business. You’ve got to have the A. I. D. degree to get by – Advertising, Initiative, and Dynamics.

We are a mission-driven company. In order to do this, we have to build a great team. And in order to do that, you need people to know they can make a bunch of money. So we need a business model to make a lot of money.

The worst way of flying, I think, is standby. It never works. That’s why they call it standby. You end up standing there going, ‚Bye!‘

A belief in hell and the knowledge that every ambition is doomed to frustration at the hands of a skeleton have never prevented the majority of human beings from behaving as though death were no more than an unfounded rumor.

As a medical doctor, I have known the face of adversity. I have seen much of death and dying, suffering and sorrow. I also remember the plight of students overwhelmed by their studies and of those striving to learn a foreign language. And I recall the fatigue and frustration felt by young parents with children in need.

I’ve done a number of Super Bowl ads. And that is the best advertising of the year. That is when people realize they’re going to be compared directly against other ads.

Here’s something that’s contrary to popular belief: I actually don’t like thinking. I think people think I like to think a lot. And I don’t. I do not like to think at all.

I’m just hoping that people understand that Islam is peace and not violence.

Our fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration and resentment.

Advertising is a racket, like the movies and the brokerage business. You cannot be honest without admitting that its constructive contribution to humanity is exactly minus zero.

Stupidity is a talent for misconception.

I never went to school more than six months in my life, but I can say this: that among my earliest recollections, I remember how, when a mere child, I used to get irritated when anybody talked to me in a way I could not understand.

My model for business is The Beatles: They were four guys that kept each others‘ negative tendencies in check; they balanced each other. And the total was greater than the sum of the parts.

A tremendous amount of the entrepreneurial initiative, if you want to call it that, comes from the dynamic state sector on which most of the economy relies to socialize costs and risks and privatize eventual profit. And that’s achieved by, if you like, advertising.

I mean, I feel like you get more bees with honey. But that doesn’t mean I don’t get frustrated in my life.

It’s not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

An inability to handle language is not the same thing as stupidity.

No one was more shocked or angry than I was when we didn’t find the weapons. I had a sickening feeling every time I thought about it. I still do.

When I tell a child something the first time, I’m nice. The 15th time, I start to get aggravated.

I don’t like L.A. It’s just not fun. I don’t know why, but I just don’t get it. You have to drive to get everywhere, and when it rains everybody freaks out.

Advertising is the rattling of a stick inside a swill bucket.

People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.

Nothing is as obnoxious as other people’s luck.

Many a small thing has been made large by the right kind of advertising.

Nobody likes to have trouble. The moment we get a hint that it’s coming, a common response is, ‚Oh no! Not again!‘

I would never do a commercial if I thought it was offensive to anyone.

As a coach, one thing that used to frustrate me was one player would make a bad decision, and that’s all you would read about in the papers all over the country. We have so many athletes do so many wonderful things for other people, and you never read about it.

There are times when one would like to hang the whole human race, and finish the farce.

I know that campaigns can seem small, and even silly. Trivial things become big distractions. Serious issues become sound bites. And the truth gets buried under an avalanche of money and advertising. If you’re sick of hearing me approve this message, believe me – so am I.

One Ad is worth more to a paper than forty Editorials.

Driving up the value of the advertising is a big commitment for Microsoft.

We only need so much to survive, but this world we live in tells us we need more stuff to be happy. We’re inundated with our televisions, the Internet and advertising that says in order to be happy you have to have these things. When you say, ‚Gimme, gimme, gimme,‘ you will always be in short supply.

The worst thing is for a player to come to a club and not be able to play.

Advertising is the art of convincing people to spend money they don’t have for something they don’t need.
