More quotes by Frank Luntz
Politics is gut commercials are gut.
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
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
You need good principles and good language if you are to succeed.
Frank Luntz
The public wants to know why or why not. They don't want to know how you're going to do it.

FedEx is another company that's passionate. When it absolutely, positively has to get there is such a great, aspirational phrase. And FedEx used it for almost a decade to communicate the passion of delivering a package. The more passionate you are, the more successful you are.
Frank Luntz
The eureka moment is two reasons why the output-based standard should be adopted: common sense and accountability. Input-based standards don't encourage energy diversity they don't create any incentives they don't produce solar, hydro, nuclear.
Frank Luntz
When you're selling a product or service, you don't have - it doesn't have to be absolutely perfect, although I've provided language that is. When you're a politician, one wrong word changes the entire - changes the meaning of something.
Frank Luntz
We will be far more effective as communicators when we acknowledge our mistakes, and then we try to make them up.
Frank Luntz
Writing a book is the most difficult, anxiety-prone aspect of my life because the words that I put on paper are very serious to me.
Frank Luntz
It applies even more to politicians because they are living, breathing embodiments of the language that they use. And it's why how you start the conversation, and how you end it, matters so much.
Frank Luntz
There are about 50 or 60 recommendations [in Win] for how to communicate, not just the words themselves. All of them had to be tested. And in this short amount of time, it's just very time-consuming and very stressful to ensure that you get it right.
Frank Luntz
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
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
This book [ Win] is based on the interviews with three dozen Fortune 400 - or Forbes 400, the richest people, and a couple dozen of the top CEOs.I wanted to know what language they use to be successful, and I wanted to know the attributes that could then be applied to the average individual.
Frank Luntz
My father was a dentist, and I always thought that he was one of the 10. It's an interesting way to personalize and humanize, which is one of the most important aspects of communication.
Frank Luntz
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
Nothing guarantees more applause and more support than the call to abolish the IRS.
Frank Luntz
It's all emotion. But there's nothing wrong with emotion. When we are in love, we are not rational we are emotional. When we are on vacation, we are not rational we are emotional.
Frank Luntz
Richard Nixon's career certainly ended in failure but someone who won an election with 60 percent of the vote, won 49 out of 50 states, that makes his -up to that point - incredibly successful. The idea of winning 49 states, incredible.
