Digital quotes of the day
 
"The Internet is becoming the town square for the global village of tomorrow. (via Warc)"
Bill Gates

"In this new wave of technology, you can't do it all yourself, you have to form alliances. (via Quote Junkie)"
Carlos Slim Helu

"I think one of the big errors people are making right now is thinking that old-style businesses will be obsolete, when actually they will be an important part of this new civilization. Some retail groups are introducing e-commerce and think that the bricks are no longer useful. But they will continue to be important. (via Warc)"
Carlos Slim Helu

"Sometimes I just need a break from the computer. Thank goodness I have an iPad. (via Twitter)"
Tim Siedell

"My internet went down at home yesterday. I think my neighbour must have forgotten to pay his bill. (via Twitter)"
Steven Winterburn

"Digital wisdom is made of recycled electrons that are meaningful until you pull the plug. (via Search Quotes)"
Don Rittner

"All men who have achieved great things have been great dreamers."
Orison Swett Marden

"I think it's fair to say that personal computers have become the most empowering tool we've ever created. They're tools of communication, they're tools of creativity, and they can be shaped by their user."
Bill Gates

"The most overlooked advantage of owning a computer is that if they foul up there's no law against whacking them around a bit."
Eric Porterfield

"The production of too many useful things results in too many useless people."
Karl Marx

"Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live."
Martin Golding

"Technology is a way of organising the universe so that man doesn't have to experience it."
Max Frisch

"Make the iron hot by striking it."
Oliver Cromwell

"Sometimes it pays to stay in bed on Monday, rather than spending the rest of the week debugging Monday's code."
Dan Salomon

"Electric communication will never be a substitute for the face of someone who with their soul encourages another person to be brave and true."
Charles Dickens

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in seeing with new eyes."
Marcel Proust

"The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency."
Bill Gates

"Great individuals are not only popular themselves, but they give popularity to whatever they touch."
Fournier

"The aim of an argument or discussion should not be victory, but progress."
Joseph Joubert, Pensées, 1842.

"Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning."
Bill Gates

"The greatest discovery of my generation is that man can alter his life simply by altering his state of mind."
William James

"The new Web must allow me to learn by crossing boundaries. It has to help me reorganise the links in my own brain so I can understand those in another person's. It has to enable me to keep the frameworks I already have, and relate them to new ones. Meanwhile, we as people will have to get used to viewing as communication rather than argument the discussions and challenges that are a necessary part of this process."
Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, 2000

"Consistency is the last resort of the unimaginative."
Oscar Wilde

"There are a lot of great technicians in advertising. And unfortunately they talk the best game. They know all the rules . . . but there's one little rub. They forget that advertising is persuasion, and persuasion is not a science, but an art. Advertising is the art of persuasion."
William Bernbach, quoted in Stephen Fox, The Mirror Makers, 1984.

"Spam isn't legitimate advertising and it's not free speech. It's basically high-tech junk faxing that forces e-mail users to pay for someone else's advertising campaign through slower computer service and higher Internet access fees."
Debra Bowen, Californian Democratic state senator

"The Internet holds immense potential as a marketing tool. As an interactive medium that reaches around the world, it promises an interpersonalization of advertising. As mass communication becomes mass-interpersonal communication, marketing efforts become more efficient, effective, and extensive."
Jef I. Richards, Legal Potholes on the Information Superhighway, 1997.

"Rather than seeing digital marketing as an "add on", marketers need to view it as a discipline that complements the communication mix and should be used to generate leads, get registrations or drive sales, rather than simply generating awareness."
Charisse Tabak, of Acceleration Media, 2002.

"In the 21st century, the database is the marketplace."
Stan Rapp of MRM Partners Worldwide

"You aren't wealthy until you have something money can't buy."
Garth Brooks

"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come."
Victor Hugo, 'Histoire d'un crime,' 1852
