More quotes by James Webb Young
Do not make the mistake of holding your idea close to your chest… Submit it to the criticism of the judicious.
James Webb Young

James Webb Young
Every really good creative person in advertising has always had two noticeable characteristics. First, there was no subject he could not easily get interested in...Second, he was an extensive browser in all sorts of fields of information. For it is with the advertising man as with the cow: no browsing, no milk.
James Webb Young

James Webb Young
The habit of mind which leads to a search for relationships between facts becomes of the highest importance in the production of ideas.
