The best ideas come as jokes. Make your thinking as funny as possible.

—David M. Ogilvy

In the modern world of business, it is useless to be a creative original thinker unless you can also sell what you create. Management cannot be expected to recognize a good idea unless it is presented to them by a good salesman.

—David M. Ogilvy

Political advertising ought to be stopped. It's the only really dishonest kind of advertising that's left.
