- "Pay people peanuts and you get monkeys."
- "...99% of advertising doesn't sell much of anything to anyone."

- "Don't keep a dog and bark yourself."
- "Hire people who are better than you are."
- "You can't save souls in an empty church."
- "I admire people with gentle manners, who treat other people as human beings. I abhor quarrelsome people who wage paper warfare...I despise toadies who suck up to their bosses; they are generally the same people who bully their subordinates."
