“Advertising is the best insurance that you can take out on your business. You can buy fire insurance on your stock of goods, but no company will issue a policy covering your business, the good will as they sometimes call it.

But we can give them advice in which the disapproval is implied and which yet seems innocently helpful.” GivingMaySeemsMightDesireResultsTakenAdviceRegardMovedAffectionGrantedHelpfulSymptomsAffectionateTaken For GrantedImpliedDisapprovalReprisal Author:John William Mackail

“A few of my books, over the years, have been optioned for film. The subject matter of my books, however, is not exactly conducive to Hollywood film treatment.
