Advertising is totally unnecessary. Unless you hope to make money.

Creativity is an advertising agency's most valuable asset, because it is the rarest.

There is a huge difference between journalism and advertising. Journalism aspires to truth. Advertising is regulated for truth. I'll put the accuracy of the average ad in this country up against the average news story any time.

In the world of commercial speech, tobacco advertising bears the earmarks of an endangered species.

Advertising is the 'wonder' in Wonder Bread.

The Death of Advertising? I think that's in the book of Revelation. It's the day when people everywhere become satisfied with their weight, their hair, their skin, their wardrobe, and their aroma.

I believe 'credibility' is one of the biggest issues yet to be addressed by Internet advertisers.

The law requires a paper towel ad to be scrupulously honest, but allows political candidates to lie without reproach. What's wrong with this picture?

Advertising is speech. It's regulated because it's often effective speech.

There's so much truly putrid advertising out there it's embarrassing. But not all advertising is bad. Some of it is really quite mediocre.

In advertising, sex sells. But only if you're selling sex.

Congress seems to believe that 'Children are our future' is a phrase coined by tobacco advertisers.

Commercial speech is like obscenity... we can't seem to define it, but we know it when we see it.

Is advertising a profession, like law or medicine? How many new parents clutch their baby to their breast and declare, 'I want this child to grow up to be a media planner'?

While it may be true that the best advertising is word-of-mouth, never lose sight of the fact it also can be the worst advertising.

Creative without strategy is called 'art.' Creative with strategy is called 'advertising.'

I wish all consumers were as gullible as advertising's biggest critics. Anyone who believes advertising is that powerful will believe almost anything.

If its not done ethically, advertising won't be trusted. If consumers don't trust it, advertising is pointless.

Creative without strategy is called art.' Creative with strategy is called advertising'.

Commercial speech is like obscenity... we cant seem to define it but we know it when we see it.

A sudden silence in the middle of a conversation suddenly brings us back to essentials: it reveals how dearly we must pay for the invention of speech.

Native Americans are the original inhabitants of the land that now constitutes the United States. They have helped develop the fundamental principles of freedom of speech and separation of powers that form the foundation of the United States Government.

The most censored speech in America today is not flag-burning, pornography, or the press.

One camp accepts the Court's limits on contributions but urges the reinstatement of spending caps - even if this requires a constitutional amendment subjecting political speech, if not pornography, to government regulation.

If a university official's letter accusing a speaker of having a proclivity to commit speech crimes before she's given the speech - which then leads to Facebook postings demanding that Ann Coulter be hurt, a massive riot and a police-ordered cancellation of the speech - is not hate speech, then there is no such thing as hate speech.

A hypocrite is the kind of politician who would cut down a redwood tree, then mount the stump and make a speech for conservation.

A very considerable body of the German people live in America and propose to fight that Government. Bourke in his great speech last week welcoming the Belgian mission to Boston worked out the President's meaning with care.

No one ever complains about a speech being too short!

Silence remains, inescapably, a form of speech.

Literature is the immortality of speech.

Speeches are not magic and there is no great speech without great policy.

Speech is the twin of my vision, it is unequal to measure itself, it provokes me forever, it says sarcastically, Walt you contain enough, why don't you let it out then?

It just seems to be a human trait to want to protect the speech of people with whom we agree. For the First Amendment, that is not good enough. So it is really important that we protect First Amendment rights of people no matter what side of the line they are on.

Just as the strength of the Internet is chaos, so the strength of our liberty depends upon the chaos and cacophony of the unfettered speech the First Amendment protects.

In rendering its decision in our case, the Supreme Court equated money with speech because these days it takes the first to make yourself heard.

While I've had a great distaste for what's usually called song in modern poetry or for what's usually called music, I really don't think of speech as so far from song.

It's good that the first half of the speech emphasized freedom, because George W. Bush has been the global champion for freedom. As he said, if we don't fight tyranny it will not leave us alone in peace.

All speech is vain and empty unless it be accompanied by action.
