More quotes by Larry Ellison
When you're the first person whose beliefs are different from what everyone else believes, you're basically saying, I'm right, and everyone else is wrong. That's a very unpleasant position to be in. It's at once exhilarating and at the same time an invitation to be attacked.
Larry Ellison
If I see Danny Hillis quoted as an expert on MPP one more time, I'm going to puke.
Larry Ellison
We will still be enormously profitable and by far the most profitable enterprise software company.
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
If your cash is about to run out, you have to cut your cash flow. CEOs have to make those decisions and live with them however painful they may be. You have to act and act now and act in the best interest of the company as a whole, even if it means that some people in the company who are your best friends have to work somewhere else.
Larry Ellison
I wish HP nothing but the best. I think HP is an icon. Those of us who had their careers in the Valley think of Dave Packard and Bill Hewlett as role models. We would love to be half as good as they were.
Larry Ellison
All you can do is every day, try to solve a problem and make your company better
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
I hate the PC, with a passion.
Larry Ellison
Both my mother and I were determined that we weren't going to stay on welfare. We always worked toward doing better, toward having a better life. We never had any doubts that we would.
Larry Ellison
Our goal is simply to become the desktop for e-businesses.
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
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.
Larry Ellison
I think you might see us growing much deeper into banking. You might see us acquiring companies in the banking area. You might see us acquiring companies in the retail area. I think you might see us acquiring companies in the telecommunications. I think you will see us getting stronger in business intelligence.
Larry Ellison
I have had all the disadvantages required for success.
Larry Ellison
The computer industry is the only industry that is more fashion-driven than women's fashion.
Larry Ellison
When you live your life in different ways, it makes people around you become uncomfortable. So deal with it. They don't know what you are going to do.
Larry Ellison
I can't think of anything that isn't cloud computing with all of these announcements. The computer industry is the only industry that is more fashion-driven than women's fashion. Maybe I'm an idiot, but I have no idea what anyone is talking about. What is it?
Larry Ellison
Right now, 70 percent of the people don't have computers. And where they're needed most, people don't have them. We think this will enable anyone to own a computer. We're aiming at everybody who uses a computer as an information access device. The original idea was to build one cheaply enough to put one on every desk.
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
