We get to design what we want to see in the world rather than doing what other people think should be done.

More quotes by Jack Dorsey
It's a matter of invitations versus context. Twitter is really good at providing context, like, I''m having coffee at Third Rail Coffee.' Foursquare is about invitations to places. In this respect Foursquare has started to replace Yelp for me.
Jack Dorsey
The Web provides a very easy way to immediately grasp what's going on. It really offers the transparency, so you can see, especially with the search engine, how people are using Twitter at one glance. The phone doesn't allow for that.
Jack Dorsey
I love cities, and I love city governments in particular. But in politics it would have taken me 8 years from implementing a policy before I would get to see the feedback. With programming I could model the same policies and see the impact immediately. Technology is a far more efficient way to test.
Jack Dorsey
My goal is to simplify complexity.
Jack Dorsey
I said a long time ago that Foursquare can make cities better. You have these augmented realities like Foursquare and Twitter and Facebook that provide these virtual nodes and instant feedback from anywhere, adding annotation around a physical places.
Jack Dorsey
Twitter is the world.
Jack Dorsey
An idea that can change the course of the company can come from anywhere.
Jack Dorsey
The first complaint we hear from everyone is: 'Why would I want to join this stupid useless thing and know what my brother's eating for lunch?' But that really misses the point because Twitter is fundamentally recipient-controlled - you choose to listen and you choose to leave. But you also choose what to put down and what to share.
Jack Dorsey
I loved couriers. You had this transfer of physical information happening throughout the city and the world. Someone picking up the package, putting it in a bag, going somewhere, taking it out of the bag, giving it to someone else. I thought that was so cool. I wanted to map it, to see that flow on a big screen.
Jack Dorsey
I think that great programming is not all that dissimilar to great art. Once you start thinking in concepts of programming it makes you a better person...as does learning a foreign language, as does learning math, as does learning how to read.
Jack Dorsey
You don't have to start from scratch to do something interesting. You don't have to start from scratch to have a massive impact on the world. You have to have a good idea. You have to convince other people of those good ideas. And you have to push as quickly as possible.
Jack Dorsey
From a product standpoint, we want every touch point to feel magical. It inspires trust.
Jack Dorsey
I think Twitter is the future of communications and Square will be the payment network.
Jack Dorsey
Everyone has an idea, but it's really about executing the idea and attracting other people to help you with the idea.
Jack Dorsey
I am someone who tweets about what I have for breakfast, what I have for lunch, what I have for dinner, and for 99.99999 percent of the world, it's useless. It's meaningless. But for my mother, she loves it.
Jack Dorsey
Life happens at intersections.
Jack Dorsey
Revolution looks at the intersection ahead and pushes people to do the right thing.
Jack Dorsey
It's really complex to make something simple.
Jack Dorsey
It's empowering to be asked to look at what's possible, not told how to do it.
Jack Dorsey
Twitter has been my life's work in many senses. It started with a fascination with cities and how they work, and what's going on in them right now.
