  1. A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

       I do not know Mr. Willkie, but the headline in one of the metropolitan papers yesterday said: “Willkie Aims At Unity, Defense and Recovery.” I’m discouraged. In Heaven’s name, will anyone aim at anything else?
       Sometimes I wonder if we shall ever grow up in our politics and say definite things which mean something, or whether we shall always go on using generalities to which everyone can subscribe, and which mean very little.

    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) First Lady of the US (1933-45), politician, diplomat, activist
    Column (1940-07-01), “My Day”

  3. Pablum was a genuine breakthrough in nutrition, saving a myriad of babies from rickets and malnutrition.

    Now imagine your brand being so bland it becomes the generic term for bland and things lacking in substance.
