With Instagram, the focus is on the present tense.

Focusing on one thing and doing it really, really well can get you very far.

If you've got an idea, start today. There's no better time than now to get going.

I promise you, a lot of it is luck. But you make your own luck by working really hard and trying lots and lots of things.

Above all else, products spread when they're useful and they're usable

I think Instagram at its best is where you feel like you're getting the most authentic version of the person on the other side of the camera.

Great products sell themselves.

Our goal is to not just be a photo-sharing app, but to be the way you share your life when you're on the go.

Every photo you take communicates something about a moment in time - a brief slice of time of where you were, who you were with, and what you were doing.

Every startup should address a real and demonstrated need in the world. If you build a solution to a problem lots of people have, it's so easy to sell your product to the world.

I really love connecting people, creating communities. As a kid, creation was something that I always loved.

Everything you dream is more than possible. Never stop dreaming.

Don't let pain keep you out of the garden.

To live is to suffer to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.

Forget your woes when you see your friend.

I could be a bit of a pain in the arse. Since I've come out of my cancer, I must say I intend to be even more of a pain in the arse.

If you're good enough, the referee doesn't matter.

I worked regularly from very early on, and some of it was probably a bit premature.

Each atom hides beneath its veil The soul amazing beauty of the Beloved's face.

To anyone out there especially young people feeling like they don't fit in and will never be accepted, please know this, great things can happen when you have the courage to be yourself.

When things are at their worst, I find something always happens.
