    Copywriting Quotes

    Neville Medhora quote about being interesting

    Sometime just hearing a quote can make you completely change the way you're viewing something.

    Years ago I first heard the quote "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with."

    I pondered on that concept, and realized it was quite true. That same day I organized a small event for some friends that are doing big things in life, just to be around them more.

    Totally true. You see it online and in person, there's always a super-vocal 5 or 10 percent of a population.

    Lol.....selling insurance with Einstein quotes?? I'm no insurance person, but I imagine that's not going to be super effective vs showing how to save money or get the best insurance for the money.

    Is Quote.com your site?

    Good one! Warren Buffet has a similar thing (paraphrased): "You can simply look at the people you admire, and just start acting like them."

    I like Sugarman's "buying on emotion, then justifying with logic". So true, and speaks a lot to what I've been exploring recently (that everything we do comes from our emotional world, either emotional comfort or discomfort, but as creatures of modern society, we don't live in the emotional world, and we think everything is either mental or physical, so we justify it on that level).

    'You regret more the things you didn't do than the things you did.' Don't know where I heard this although researching it now seems to be a summary of a Mark Twain quote. To me it means that you don't want to be left wondering in 20 years: "What if I had done that?" I'd rather try something and fail than not try at all...and I have failed a lot.

    “Invention, it must be humbly admitted, does not consist in creating out of void but out of chaos.” ― Mary Shelley

    I love this quote because it encourages you to look around and reflect on what to use as building blocks for your work and not wait around for an idea to pop out of nowhere. The Universe was created out of chaos after all :)
