Facebook has this famous poster that says move fast and break things. But at the same time they manage to be obsessed with quality.

No matter what you choose, build stuff and be around smart people.

You can create value with breakthrough innovation, incremental refinement, or complex coordination. Great companies often do two of these. The very best companies do all three.

In general don't start a startup you're not willing to work on for ten years.

Everyone starting a startup for the first time is scared, and everyone feels like a bit of an imposter.

One can return to their place of birth, but one cannot go back to your youth.

We don't have time to wait for President Bush to change his mind. How many breakthroughs have been missed as a result of this policy?

Just give me 25 guys on the last year of their contracts; I'll win a pennant every year.

Cooperate with your destiny, don't go against it, don't thwart it. Allow it to fulfill itself.
