More quotes by Jeff Bezos
I love my life. I love being an inventor.
Jeff Bezos
Entrepreneurs must be willing to be misunderstood for long periods of time.
Jeff Bezos
The framework I found which made the decision incredibly easy was what I called — which only a nerd would call — a “regret minimization framework.” So, I wanted to project myself forward to age 80 and say, “Okay, now I’m looking back on my life. I want to have minimized the number of regrets I have.”
Jeff Bezos
Strip malls are history.
Jeff Bezos
We expect all our businesses to have a positive impact on our top and bottom lines ... Profitability is very important to us or we wouldn't be in this business.
Jeff Bezos
Your margin is my opportunity.
Jeff Bezos
Your brand is what people say about you when you're not in the room
Jeff Bezos
I have a strongly held belief that one of the reasons that Amazon has been successful is because we do not obsess over competitors. Instead we obsess over customers.
Jeff Bezos
We watch our competitors, learn from them, see the things that they were doing for customers and copy those things as much as we can.
Jeff Bezos
There's so much stuff that has yet to be invented. There's so much new that's going to happen. People don't have any idea yet how impactful the internet is going to be and that this is still Day 1 in such a big way.
Jeff Bezos

Jeff Bezos
The common question that gets asked in business is, why? That’s a good question, but an equally valid question is, why not?
Jeff Bezos
If you want to be inventive, you have to be willing to fail.
Jeff Bezos
You want to look at what other companies are doing. It's very important not to be hermetically sealed. But you don't want to look at it as if, 'OK, we're going to copy that.' You want to look at it and say, 'That's very interesting. What can we be inspired to do as a result of that?' And then put your own unique twist on it.
Jeff Bezos
I strongly believe that missionaries make better products. They care more. For a missionary, it's not just about the business. There has to be a business, and the business has to make sense, but that's not why you do it. You do it because you have something meaningful that motivates you.
Jeff Bezos
I think that, ah, I'm a very goofy sort of person in many ways.
Jeff Bezos
Cleverness is a gift, kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy-they're given after all. Choices can be hard.
Jeff Bezos
If you look at academic studies, you can see that stock prices are most closely correlated with cash flow. It's such a straightforward number. Cash flow is what will drive shareholder returns.
Jeff Bezos
People don't want gadgets, they want services.
Jeff Bezos
I went to Princeton specifically to study physics.
