“Only 4 percent of all the companies owned in Scotland have their head offices in Scotland.”
“Advertising is a business of words, but advertising agencies are infested with men and women who cannot write. They cannot write advertisements, and they cannot write plans. They are helpless as deaf mutes on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera.”
“War is death. If we are to engage in war, then we should have to stare it straight in the face and call it by its rightful name.”
“My loneliness turned itself inside out and I grew myself a kind of perverse pride.”
“The equation of religion with belief is rather recent.”
“I am convinced that America can be turned around if we will all get serious about the Master's business. It may be late, but it is never too late to do what is right. We need an old-fashioned, God-honoring, Christ-exalting revival to turn American back to God. America can be saved!”
“We know our friends by their defects rather than by their merits.”
“Staying alive was what we did to pass the time.”
