Bruce Barton
Most successful men have not achieved their distinction by having some new talent or opportunity that was at hand.
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

Bruce Barton
The big rewards come to those who travel the second, undemanded mile.
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
