Famous quotes containing the words advertising and/or controversy:

    Life is beset by many annoyances, and those that stand out above all are the life- insurance and advertising agents.
    Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)

    And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.
    Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
