More quotes by 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 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
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
Life's a journey. It's a journey about discovering limits.

Larry Ellison

Larry Ellison
You have to believe in what you do in order to get what you want.
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
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.
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
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 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
Act confident, even when you're not.
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
If the Internet turns out not to be the future of computing, we're toast. But if it is, we're golden.
Larry Ellison
