Quote

Advertising is like learning - a little is a dangerous thing. If a man has not the pluck to keep on advertising, all the money he has already spent is lost.

You know I had rather be laughed at than not to be noticed at all.
P. T. Barnum

Men, women, and children who cannot live on gravity alone need something to satisfy their gayer, lighter moods and hours, and he who ministers to this want is, in my opinion, in a business established by the Creator of our nature. If he worthily fulfills his mission and amuses without corrupting, he need never feel that he has lived in vain.

There is no such thing in the world as luck. There never was a man who could go out in the morning and find a purse full of gold in the street to-day, and another to-morrow, and so on, day after day: He may do so once in his life but so far as mere luck is concerned, he is as liable to lose it as to find it.

True economy consists in always making the income exceed the out-go. Wear the old clothes a little longer if necessary dispense with the new pair of gloves mend the old dress: live on plainer food if need be so that, under all circumstances, unless some unforeseen accident occurs, there will be a margin in favor of the income.

Politeness and civility are the best capital ever invested in business. Large stores, gilt signs, flaming advertisements, will all prove unavailing if you or your employees treat your patrons abruptly. The truth is, the more kind and liberal a man is, the more generous will be the patronage bestowed upon him.
