"Writing good ads is easy when you have something to say." — Roy H. Williams

You see a person when you look in the mirror that no one sees but you. Other people see a person when they look at you, but you're not that person, either.

Words are mere shadows cast by ideas. But the ideas they represent are real.

The value of an item - in the mind of a consumer - is simply the difference between the anticipated price and the price on the tag.
