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
Winning is not enough. All others must lose.

All you can do is all you can do.
Larry Ellison
All you can do is every day, try to solve a problem and make your company better

Larry Ellison
I greatly admire GE, their utterly ruthlessly focused management, to get the cost out and get this integration done.’ Okay, we may make a few mistakes along the way but we are not going to waste any time.' They make decisions they are incredibly disciplined and focused.
Larry Ellison
I hate the PC, with a passion.
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
