“Don’t let anyone tell you to change who you are.”

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.

Judge me by my past, don’t get mad when I put you there.

Art is something that nobody laughs at and nobody makes any money out of is the attitude, which I would dispute.

To respond is positive, to react is negative.

Whatever anyone does or says, I must be emerald and keep my colour.

A lot of people judged me. I like the way it looks, so you have to be confident.

I don’t mind making jokes, but I don’t want to look like one.

Hold your head high, and your middle finger higher.

Be nice to nerds, they’ll probably be your boss one day.
