Jimmy Wales
If you see a blatant error or misconception about yourself, you really want to set it straight.
Jimmy Wales

Jimmy Wales
People are not fundamentally bad. It only takes the smallest of correctives to take care of that tiny minority that wants to disrupt the community.
Jimmy Wales
It's kind of surprising that you could just open up a site and let people work.
Jimmy Wales
I don't worry. It's just not in my nature, really.
Jimmy Wales
Mostly, I try to take a rational approach to life.
Jimmy Wales
I have always liked the idea of going to print because a big part of what we are about is to disseminate knowledge throughout the world and not just to people who have broadband.
