More From David Ogilvy

So that in the nature of man, we find three principal causes of quarrel. first, competition; secondly, diffidence; thirdly, glory. the first maketh men invade for gain; the second, for safety; and the third, for reputation. the first use violence, to make themselves masters of other men's persons, wives, children, and cattle; the second, to defend them; the third, for trifles, as a word, a smile, a different opinion, and any other sign of undervalue, either direct in their persons or by reflection in their kindred, their friends, their nation, their profession, or their name.

Always surround yourself with people who are better than you. if you're hanging around bad people, they're going to start bringing you down . . . but, if you surround yourself with good people, they're going to be pulling you up.

The fact that we are i don't know how many millions of people, yet communication, complete communication, is completely impossible between two of those people, is to me one of the biggest tragic themes in the world

In my opinion, mature political action is the type of action that that involves a program of re-education and information that will enable the black people in the black community to see the fruits that they should be receiving from the politicians who are over them and, thereby, they are then able to determine whether or not the politician is really fulfilling his function.

I think one could argue that there's more political input into the regulatory side, and on the regulatory side there seem to be fewer people with financial and banking experience - there are more lawyers, academics, economists, maybe politicians now.
