More quotes by Jimmy Wales
It's kind of surprising that you could just open up a site and let people work.
Jimmy Wales

Jimmy Wales
Things work well when a group of people know each other, and things break down when it's a bunch of random people interacting.
Jimmy Wales
IAR is policy, always has been.

I tend to eat things in fours. I'll eat four nuts, four grapes, four chips at a time. I don't know why. It's not really a superstition. I don't think anything bad will happen if I don't, but three potato chips doesn't seem right.
Jimmy Wales
I have zero interest in sports of any kind - professional, college or international.

Jimmy Wales
Mostly, I try to take a rational approach to life.
Jimmy Wales
I can't do anything quietly anymore.
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.
Jimmy Wales
I think it's a mistake to treat different realms of knowledge as if they are some how fundamentally the same.
Jimmy Wales
What we won't do is pretend that the work of lunatic charlatans is the equivalent of true scientific discourse. It isn't.
Jimmy Wales
Freely licensed textbooks are the next big thing in education.
Jimmy Wales
Wikipedia is the #5 site on the Web and serves 450 million different people every month - with billions of page views.
Jimmy Wales
My being some kind of celebrity - not a real celebrity, isn't a welcome part of the job.
Jimmy Wales
