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

Any conversation I have about innovation starts with the ultimate goal.

If you’re not doing things that are crazy, then you’re doing the wrong things.

I would like to see anyone be able to achieve their dreams, and that’s what this organization does.

You can make money doing evil.

We believed we could build a better search. We had a simple idea that not all pages are created equal. Some are more important.

If I were seriously interested in something important to me, I wouldn’t just click on the first search result, read it and take it as God’s word.

It’s very hard to fail completely if you aim high enough.

Ultimately you want to have the entire world’s knowledge connected directly to your mind.

You never lose a dream, it just incubates as a hobby.

My ambition is to have this wonderful gift produce practical results for the future of commercial flying and for the women who may want to fly tomorrow’s planes.

Patriotism. Combustible rubbish ready to the torch of any one ambitious to illuminate his name.

Ambition. An overmastering desire to be vilified by enemies while living and made ridiculous by friends when dead.

I love playing a smart, ambitious, talented woman. Who doesn’t? That’s really fun for me.

The main thing, of course, always, is the fact that there is only one of you in the world, just one, and if that is not fulfilled then something has been lost. Ambition is not enough; necessity is everything.

We will not be dictated to by men with less intelligence, energy, initiative and ambition than we ourselves possess.

If you try to keep your most sacred ambitions off of your weekly calendar and your most genuine traits off of your resume, then you’re missing out on the power of real integrity.

A lot of people have the ambition, but they never ask themselves, Do I really believe I can do this?
