Larry Ellison
Five years from now, I don't know how I'll think.
Larry Ellison
I was vehemently against acquisitions. Now let's buy everything in sight. Well, that's a slight exaggeration. We are a little more strategic than that. But everything was on sale.

Larry Ellison
I hate the PC, with a passion.
Larry Ellison
There's a wonderful saying that's dead wrong. 'Why did you climb the mountain?' 'I climbed the mountain because it was there.' That's utter nonsense...You climbed the mountain because you were there, and you were curious if you could do it. You wondered what it would be like.
Larry Ellison
Those that believe this is merely a downturn are mad. Our industry is going to mature and as something matures, the rate of innovation does slow.
Larry Ellison
We will still be enormously profitable and by far the most profitable enterprise software company.
Larry Ellison

Larry Ellison
When you write a program for Android, you use the Oracle Java tools for everything, and at the very end, you push a button and say, Convert this to Android format.
Larry Ellison
The most important aspect of my personality as far as determining my success goes has been my questioning conventional wisdom, doubting experts and questioning authority. While that can be painful in your relationships with your parents and teachers, it's enormously useful in life.
Larry Ellison
Because software is all about scale. The larger you are, the more profitable you are. If we sell twice as much as software, it doesn't cost us twice as much to build that software. So the more customers you have, the more scale you have. The larger you are, the more profitable you are.
Larry Ellison
