More quotes by Larry Ellison
I'm right, and everyone else is wrong.
Larry Ellison
We saw — we conducted the experiment. I mean, it’s been done. We saw Apple with Steve Jobs. We saw Apple without Steve Jobs. We saw Apple with Steve Jobs. Now, we’re gonna see Apple without Steve Jobs.

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
When you innovate, you've got to be prepared for everyone telling you you're nuts.
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.

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
So what makes me happy? I was really happy to build this house. That's it building things. The trouble with software is that it's very hard to show your aunt in Florida what you've done.
Larry Ellison
Being first is more important to me [than earning money]. I have so much money. Whatever money is, it's just a method of keeping score now. I mean, I certainly don't need more money.
Larry Ellison

Larry Ellison
All you can do is all you can do.
Larry Ellison
A corporation's primary goal is to make money. Government's primary role is to take a big chunk of that money and give it to others.
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
... Don't mistake any of this for altruism...Fear and greed just doesn't work. If you want to be successful, quality and service just works better.
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
Act confident, even when you're not.
Larry Ellison
Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing. Sure, there’s the talent, but there also has to be the will. Give me human will and the intense desire to win and it will trump talent every day of the week.
Larry Ellison
Taking care of your employees is extremely important, and very, very visible.
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
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
