Many a small thing has been made large by the right kind of advertising.

Small things, over time, can get big.

Little things are big.

The art of advertisement, after the American manner, has introduced into all our life such a lavish use of superlatives, that no standard of value whatever is intact.

Advertisements are now so numerous that they are very negligently perused, and it is, therefore, become necessary to gain attention by magnificence of promises, and by eloquence sometimes sublime and sometimes pathetick. Promise, large promise, is the soul of an advertisement.

Big things are often just little things that people notice.

Advertising has formed us to give our affection not only to the products we consume, but also to the personified corporations that supply them.

Small things — if not corrected — become big things, always.

Ads sell a great deal more than products. They sell values, images, and concepts of success and worth.

You can tell the values of a nation by its advertisements.

Advertisements are of great use to the vulgar. First of all, as they are instruments of ambition. A man that is by no means big enough for the Gazette, may easily creep into the advertisements; by which means we often see an apothecary in the same paper of news with a plenipotentiary, or a running footman with an ambassador.
