“When you want to change things, you can’t please everyone. If you do please everyone, you aren’t making enough progress.”

People don’t care about what someone says about you in a movie or even what you say, right? They care about what you build.

The thing I really care about is the mission, making the world open.

I think that people just have this core desire to express who they are. And I think that’s always existed.

By giving people the power to share, we’re making the world more transparent.

Young people are just smarter.

Simply put: we don’t build services to make money; we make money to build better services.

When you give everyone a voice and give people power, the system usually ends up in a really good place. So, what we view our role as, is giving people that power.

I think there’s confusion around what the point of social networks is.

Connected is helping people stay in touch and maintain empathy for each other, and bandwidth.

I’m here to build something for the long-term. Anything else is a distraction.

The trick isn’t adding stuff, it’s taking away.

I’m grateful to my mother for raising me with love and to all mothers out there for the important and challenging work you do every single day to make your family and the whole world a little bit better.

People can be really smart or have skills that are directly applicable, but if they don’t really believe in it, then they are not going to really work hard.

What really motivates people at Facebook is building stuff that they’re proud of.

Building a mission and building a business go hand in hand.

There is a huge need and a huge opportunity to get everyone in the world connected, to give everyone a voice and to help transform society for the future.

Identify your problems, but give your power and energy to solutions.

The place in which I’ll fit will not exist until I make it.

Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

You can be sure of succeeding in your attacks if you only attack places which are undefended.

When a really great dream shows up, grab it!

Ten years from now you’ll laugh at whatever’s stressing you out today. So why not laugh now?

Try to be creatively lead rather than market lead.

You can make money doing evil.
