When people are connected, we can just do some great things. They have the opportunity to get access to jobs, education, health, communications. We have the opportunity to bring the people we care about closer to us. It really makes a big difference.

I literally coded Facebook in my dorm room and launched it from my dorm room. I rented a server for $85 a month, and I funded it by putting an ad on the side, and we’ve funded ever since by putting ads on the side.

In addition to building better products, a more open world will also encourage businesses to engage with their customers directly and authentically. More than four million businesses have Pages on Facebook that they use to have a dialogue with their customers. We expect this trend to grow as well.

I’m trying to make the world a more open place.

If we’re trying to build a world-class News Feed and a world-class messaging product and a world-class search product and a world-class ad system, and invent virtual reality and build drones, I can’t write every line of code. I can’t write any lines of code.

I remember flying in, driving down 101 in a cab, and passing by all these tech companies like Yahoo! I remember thinking, ‘Maybe someday we’ll build a company. This probably isn’t it, but one day we will.’

I never trust an executive who tends to pass the buck. Nor would I want to deal with him as a customer or a supplier.

We have had just one main purpose during these years, and that is to give the people transportation of the most dependable quality at the lowest possible cost.

What America needs most is aviation.

Edison, to a greater extent than has ever been recognized, is the father of American industrial methods.

Cutting wages is not the way to recovery. Raise wages and improve the product.

If you can run one business well, you can run any business well.

It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest.

The great need of the world has always been for leaders. With more leaders we could have more industry. More industry, more employment and comfort for all.

We, we – as I say, we go in and shake up other industries and I think, you know, we do it differently and I think that industries are not quite the same as a result of Virgin attacking the market.

America is not a land of money but of wealth-not a land of rich people, but of successful workers.

A market is never saturated with a good product, but it is very quickly saturated with a bad one.

Listen – it makes you sound smarter.

If I had to think where I could live if not Moscow, London would be my first choice and second would be New York.

I built a great company, one of the – some of the most iconic assets in the world, $10 billion of net worth, more than $10 billion of net worth, and frankly, I had a great time doing it.
