I think about the business all the time. Well I shouldn't say all the time. I don't think about it when I am wakeboarding. But even when I am on vacation, or on my boat I am on email everyday. I am always prowling around the internet looking at what our competitors are doing.

Larry Ellison
What can a sales person say to somebody to get them to buy a product that they already use every day if they don't like it? Nothing.
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
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
You realize that life is short and fragile and when you are facing walls of water, you understand your own mortality can change and how quickly things could change.
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
Really great blogs do not take the place of great microprocessors. Great blogs do not replace great software. Lots and lots of blogs does not replace lots and lots of sales.
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
The only way to get ahead is to find errors in conventional wisdom.
Larry Ellison
If an innovative piece of software comes along, Microsoft copies it and makes it part of Windows. This is not innovation this is the end of innovation.
