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.

In college, a loss is pretty devastating. That feeling kind of goes away in an 82-game season. You hate to lose, but you also have a lot more games to make up for it.

Too much TV hurts movies.

Considering their impact, you might expect mosquitoes to get more attention than they do. Sharks kill fewer than a dozen people every year, and in the U.S. they get a week dedicated to them on TV every year.

Writers are a little below clowns and a little above trained seals.

Our envy always lasts longer than the happiness of those we envy.

The path to the CEO’s office should not be through the CFO’s office, and it should not be through the marketing department. It needs to be through engineering and design.

Folks don’t like to have somebody around knowing more than they do.

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.

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.

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 what I look like on TV, and I want to look better, and nothing makes the mothers more jealous.

Do your work with your whole heart, and you will succeed – there’s so little competition.

In the ideal world, if I was perfect, I’d be able to beat every teammate that I have, in every race.

When we are thinking about stuff like embeds, we are not thinking about how we are competing with YouTube. We are thinking about how are we going to make it more useful for people to share stuff on Facebook.

Even though the risks of death are higher driving than flying, many people would rather drive simply because they feel they have more control driving. The facts are that only a few hundred people die a year flying, and 44,000 are killed a year driving.

Noise proves nothing. Often a hen who has merely laid an egg cackles as if she laid an asteroid.

The seven-inch tablets are tweeners: too big to compete with a smartphone, and too small to compete with an iPad.

I’m a football fan, a sports fan, a fan of competition.

A lot of people have it a lot worse than you do.

It is far more difficult to murder a phantom than a reality.

The first man to compare the cheeks of a young woman to a rose was obviously a poet; the first to repeat it was possibly an idiot.

Bring them on.

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

I was probably the first footballer ever to have a pop-star profile, and my agent was right when he said we could put my name on stair rods and sell them to people in bungalows.

Great industries are never made from single companies. There is room in space for a lot of winners.

It’s rule number one, really – beating your teammate.

Baldwin thought Europe was a bore, and Chamberlain thought it was only a greater Birmingham.

When you are fitted in a racing car and you race to win, second or third place is not enough.

In this industry, there’s a lot of cases of being a competitor in one way, but you’re often a customer and a vendor in another way. It’s not atypical in aerospace. Actually, it’s not that atypical in a lot of industries.

Eventually, all companies are replaced.

I’d love to go into WWE and have a real knock and see what’s what.

Life is nothing but a competition to be the criminal rather than the victim.

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.

America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles of justice and progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings.

Before you try to keep up with the Joneses, be sure they’re not trying to keep up with you.

As long as a woman can look ten years younger than her own daughter, she is perfectly satisfied.

The connectivity declaration is about uniting the whole industry – a lot of companies that typically compete very fiercely – to push in a coherent direction.

Automotive franchise laws were put in place decades ago to prevent a manufacturer from unfairly opening stores in direct competition with an existing franchise dealer that had already invested time, money and effort to open and promote their business.

Poets are like baseball pitchers. Both have their moments. The intervals are the tough things.

I’m trying to get to Mars before everyone else.

The opera is to music what a bawdy house is to a cathedral.

Is it not rather what we expect in men, that they should have numerous strands of experience lying side by side and never compare them with each other?

What difference does it make how much you have? What you do not have amounts to much more.

There is no gambling like politics.

The behavior of the crowd at Churchill Downs is like 100,000 vicious Hyenas going berserk all at once in a space about the size of a 777 jet or the White House lawn.

It’s really annoying for me. That’s not what I’m playing for, to be the face of the NBA or to be this or that or to take LeBron’s throne or whatever.

It’s OK for China to invent cancer drugs that cure patients in the United States. We want them to catch up. But as the leader, we want to keep setting a very, very high standard. We don’t want them to catch up because we’re slowing down or, even worse, going into reverse.

Don’t blame the marketing department. The buck stops with the chief executive.

Often people become our friend or follower with an undercurrent of resentment in our having more success than they have. They secretly desire the opportunity to take us down a notch; they have a nose for any misstep on our part they can exploit.

If the battle for civilization comes down to the wimps versus the barbarians, the barbarians are going to win.

It is the advertiser who provides the paper for the subscriber. It is not to be disputed, that the publisher of a newspaper in this country, without a very exhaustive advertising support, would receive less reward for his labor than the humblest mechanic.

I don’t invest in ideas because ideas are a dime a dozen. I could steal the idea pretty quickly.

That’s what you live for as a sportsman. You have to put up a fight.

I enjoy competition. I enjoy challenges. If a challenge is in front of me and it appeals to me, I will go ahead and conquer it.

Particularly Instagram, people look like they have a much better life than they really do. People basically seem like they are way better-looking than they really are, and they are way happier-seeming than they really are.
