In the modern world of business, it is useless to be a creative, original thinker unless you can also sell what you create. – David Ogilvy
Never write an advertisement which you wouldn’t want your family to read. You wouldn’t tell lies to your own wife. Don’t tell them to mine. – David Ogilvy

Advertising reflects the mores of society, but it does not influence them. – David Ogilvy
