More quotes by Bruce Barton
Conceit is God's gift to little men.
Bruce Barton
Get money - but stop once in a while to figure what it is costing you to get it. No man gets it without giving something in return. The wise man gives his labor and ability. The fool gives his life.
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
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
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
Talkers have always ruled. They will continue to rule. The smart thing is to join them.
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
Not eating breakfast is the worst thing you can do, that's really the take-home message for teenage girls.
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
A daughter is the happy memories of the past, the joyful moments of the present, and the hope and promise of the future.
Bruce Barton
