Mark Zuckerberg

We’re a community of a billion-plus people, and the best-selling phones – apart from the iPhone – can sell 10, 20 million. If we did build a phone, we’d only reach 1 or 2 percent of our users. That doesn’t do anything awesome for us. We wanted to turn as many phones as possible into ‘Facebook phones.’ That’s what Facebook Home is.

I just think people have a lot of fiction. But, you know, I mean, the real story of Facebook is just that we’ve worked so hard for all this time. I mean, the real story is actually probably pretty boring, right? I mean, we just sat at our computers for six years and coded.

Connectivity is a human right.

My goal was never to just create a company. A lot of people misinterpret that, as if I don’t care about revenue or profit or any of those things. But what not being just a company means to me is not being just that – building something that actually makes a really big change in the world.

The real question for me is, do people have the tools that they need in order to make those decisions well? And I think that it’s actually really important that Facebook continually makes it easier and easier to make those decisions… If people feel like they don’t have control over how they’re sharing things, then we’re failing them.

If you grew up, and you never had a computer, and you’ve never used the Internet, and someone asked you if you wanted to buy a data plan, your response would be ‘What’s a data plan, and why would I want to use this?’

It is difference of opinion that makes horse races.

Time wounds all heels.

Since when is “public safety” the root password to the Constitution?

When your life is nearly over, you will regret it if you look back and recall too many nights when you made excuses instead of making love.

Life is not about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

Idleness is the reason for many of our troubles.

Loving smart means believing in you, your worth and your value.

The philosophy of life indicates that our principal business on this planet is the gaining of experience.

Change isn’t a light switch; it’s slow and gradual.

The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.

It doesn’t matter how slow you go as long as you don’t stop.

I just want people to take a step back, take a deep breath and actually look at something with a different perspective. But most people will never do that.

They ask me how I love you and I say in pages, in novels, in volumes. I love you like my favorite story, the one that I wake up to every day and watch unfold. And I don’t know how it ends, but I know your name is already written in the chapters of my life that I have yet to live.

Being both soft and strong is a combination very few have mastered.

The wit knows that his place is at the tail of a procession.
