“There are basically no companies that have good slow decisions. There are only companies that have good fast decisions.”

We are excited about Internet access in general. With better access to the Internet, people do more searches.

Small groups of people can have a really huge impact.

It is easier to make progress on mega-ambitious dreams. Since no one else is crazy enough to do it, you have little competition.

My job as a leader is to make sure everybody in the company has great opportunities, and that they feel they’re having a meaningful impact.

As a precaution, we’re making machines extremely heavy with very tiny legs.

We try to, when you come to Google, fulfill that need that you have as quickly as possible.

It’s quite complicated and sounds circular, but we’ve worked out a way of calculate a Web site’s importance.

Don’t be evil- apparently people like it better than “Be good”.

Optimism is important. You have to be a little silly about the goals you are going to set. You should try to do things that most people would not do.

People are starving in the world, not because we don’t have enough food, but because we’re not organized. And computers are part of that.

Anything you can imagine probably is doable, you just have to imagine it and work on it.

If we are not trusted, we have no business.

Lots of companies don’t succeed over time. What do they fundamentally do wrong? They usually miss the future.

What is the one sentence summary of how you change the world? Always work hard on something uncomfortably exciting!

There are no quick wins in business – it takes years to become an overnight success.

I think a simple rule of business is, if you do the things that are easier first, then you can actually make a lot of progress.

Before you react, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you criticize, wait. Before you quit, try.

Profit is a by-product of work; happiness is its chief product.

Plan for what it is difficult while it is easy, do what is great while it is small.

Your brand is what other people say about you when you’re not in the room.

If I had stayed for other people to make my tools and things for me, I had never made anything.

I believe in the philosophy of staying hungry. If you have a dream and it becomes a reality, don’t stay satisfied too long. Make up a new dream and hunt after that one and turn it into a reality.
