More quotes by Larry Ellison
If I see Danny Hillis quoted as an expert on MPP one more time, I'm going to puke.
Larry Ellison

Larry Ellison

Larry Ellison
I enjoy the competition and the process of learning as we compete. The whole thing is just fascinating. I don't know what I'll do when I retire. When I go sailing, I look around ... anyone want to race? I just love competing as opposed to just going out and watching the sunset.
Larry Ellison
I think I am very goal oriented. I'd like to win the America's cup. I'd like Oracle to be the No 1 software company in the world. I still think it is possible to beat Microsoft.
Larry Ellison
You have to believe in what you do in order to get what you want.

The only way to get ahead is to find errors in conventional wisdom.
Larry Ellison
We have been doing things that are contrary the things that people tell us won't work from the beginning. In fact, the only way to get ahead is to find errors in conventional wisdom.
