More quotes by Bruce Barton
I had never thought of advertising as a life work, though I had on the side, written some very successful copy.
Bruce Barton
Most successful men have not achieved their distinction by having some new talent or opportunity that was at hand.
Bruce Barton
The essential element in personal magnetism is a consuming sincerity - an overwhelming faith in the importance of the work one has to do.
Bruce Barton
As a profession advertising is young as a force it is as old as the world. The first four words ever uttered, Let there be light, constitute its charter. All nature is vibrant with its impulse.
Bruce Barton
When you're through changing you're through.
Bruce Barton
Christ would be a national advertiser today, I am sure, as He was a great advertiser in His own day. He thought of His life as business.
Bruce Barton
The ablest men in all walks of modern life are men of faith. Most of them have much more faith than they themselves realize.
Bruce Barton
When you have something for breakfast, you're not going to be starving by lunch.

When you are through changing, you are through.
Bruce Barton
The most important thing about getting somewhere is starting right where we are.
Bruce Barton
We pay just as dearly for our triumphs as we do for our defeats. Go ahead and fail. But fail with wit, fail with grace, fail with style. A mediocre failure is as insufferable as a mediocre success.
Bruce Barton
Every time you open your mouth you let men look into your mind.
Bruce Barton
Much brass has been sounded and many cymbals tinkled in the name of advertising but the advertisements which persuade people to act are written by men who have an abiding respect for the intelligence of their readers, and a deep sincerity regarding the merits of the goods they have to sell.
Bruce Barton
It is said that great leaders are born, not made. The saying is true to this degree, that no man can persuade people to do what he wants them to do, unless he genuinely likes people, and believes that what he wants them to do is to their own advantage.
Bruce Barton
Sometimes when I consider what tremendous consequences come from little things, I am tempted to think there are no little things.
Bruce Barton
In good times, people want to advertise in bad times, they have to.
Bruce Barton
Jesus brought forth men's greatest efforts by the promise of obstacles not rewards.
Bruce Barton
Learn their lesson, that if you would teach people you first must capture their interest with news that your service rather than your sermons must be your claim upon their attention that what you say must be simple, and brief, and above all sincere - the unmistakable voice of true regard and affection.
Bruce Barton
If you expect perfection from people your whole life is a series of disappointments, grumblings and complaints. If, on the contrary, you pitch your expectations low, taking folks as the inefficient creatures which they are, you are frequently surprised by having them perform better than you had hoped.
Bruce Barton
Many a man who pays rent all his life owns his own home and many a family has successfully saved for a home only to find itself at last with nothing but a house.
