More quotes by Frank Luntz
People want to be inspired. They want to aspire to something. ... You can have the best product, the best service, the best argument in a debate. But without the effective words you still lose. In the end you need good principles and good language if you are to succeed.

Politics is gut commercials are gut.

Nothing guarantees more applause and more support than the call to abolish the IRS.

It's not what you say, it's what people hear.

When I wrote Win, it only took about eight months, but eight months of sheer pain and suffering because every phrase that's in there - and there are about 130 specific linguistic recommendations - I had to test every one to make sure that it worked.
Frank Luntz
Believe in better, which is a corporate phrase rather than a political phrase. We don't want more. We're not looking for quantity. We're looking for quality. Believe in better suggests intergenerational change. It suggests product innovation. It suggests something better for the future.
Frank Luntz
Win is about the specific use of specific words to connect you to your employer or employees, politicians to voters - and frankly, to help people win debates, have discussions, and improve the level of communication.
Frank Luntz
Most voters would rather have their purse or wallet stolen than be audited by the IRS.

The public wants to know why or why not. They don't want to know how you're going to do it.

I tell this joke about Barack Obama is the best communicator of our generation: The guy reads a teleprompter better than any Hollywood actor. John McCain, his opponent - Stevie Wonder reads a teleprompter better than John McCain.
Frank Luntz
There are certain aspects, and there are - there are 15 attributes of winners and winning slogans. Which side are you on sounds divisive, that you're on one side or the other, at a time when we actually want universality. We want unanimity.
Frank Luntz
I've done reasonably well over the last 10 years because I took the strategy of language and politics and applied it to the corporate world, which has never been done before.
Frank Luntz
Whether or not you liked George W. Bush, there was no doubt about what position he was going to take, and that's what endeared him to a significant segment of American society.

Apple has a passion to deliver the most amazing, innovative - and, in fact, I got criticized because in Win, there are at least 10 references to what Steve Jobs has done, and Apple's done, in that my editor said it's too much. But Apple is a passionate company.
Frank Luntz
I don't understand why people whose entire lives or their corporate success depends on communication, and yet they are led on occasion by CEOs who cannot talk their way out of a paper bag and don't care to.
Frank Luntz
Eighty percent of our life is emotion, and only 20 percent is intellect. I am much more interested in how you feel than how you think. I can change how you think, but how you feel is something deeper and stronger, and it's something that's inside you.
Frank Luntz
The problem is people become so angry. And they become so vicious.

Richard Nixon will always go down as a failure because of one stupid, moral - and that goes back to that last chapter, on principles.
Frank Luntz
It has to be simple, but then you deliver them a principle: The simple truth is, as a matter of principle, we cannot spend more than we take in. Something - that changes the tone of the debate.
Frank Luntz
What the people now respond - and the goal of those ads is to merely get the name of the medication into the minds of the consumers so that they will ask their doctor about it. That's the whole goal.
