What prudent merchant will hazard his fortunes in any new branch of commerce when he knows not that his plans may be rendered unlawful before they can be executed?
- James MadisonIf the other fellow sells cheaper than you, it is called dumping. `Course, if you sell cheaper than him, that`s mass production.
- Will RogersFor me, commerce is of trivial import; love, faith, truth of character, the aspiration of man, these are sacred; nor can I detach one duty, like you, from all other duties, and concentrate my forces mechanically on the payment of moneys
- Ralph Waldo EmersonCommerce is of trivial import; love, faith, truth of character, the aspiration of man, these are sacred.
- Ralph Waldo EmersonIf commerce is the engine of our economy, then advertising is the spark. Responsible advertisers are the drivers who keep us on the right track, leading to a richer, more benevolent society.
- Brian PhilcoxOnly for the phony is commercialism-the bending of creativity to common utility-a naughty word. To the truly creative, it is a bridge to the great audience, a means of sharing rather than debasing.
- Ernest A. JonesNot just in commerce but in the world of ideas too our age is putting on a veritable clearance sale. Everything can be had so dirt cheap that one begins to wonder whether in the end anyone will want to make a bid.
- Soren Kierkegaard
