More quotes by Larry Page
We understand the need to balance our short- and longer-term needs because our revenue is the engine that funds all our innovation. But over time, our emerging high-usage products will likely generate significant new revenue streams for Google as well as for our partners, just as search does today.
Larry Page
If we were motivated by money, we would have sold the company a long time ago and ended up on a beach.
Larry Page
The amazing thing is that we're part of people's daily lives, like brushing their teeth. It's just something they do throughout the day while working, buying things, deciding what to do after work and much more. Google has been accepted as part of people's lives.
Larry Page
The Star Trek computer doesn't seem that interesting. They ask it random questions, it thinks for a while. I think we can do better than that.
Larry Page
Being negative is not how we make progress, and the most important things are not zero sum.
Larry Page
Technology should do the hard work so people can do the things that make them the happiest in life.
Larry Page
As we transition from one screen to multiscreens, Google has enormous opportunities to innovate and drive ever higher monetization. Just like Search in 2000.
Larry Page
Many leaders of big organizations, I think, don't believe that change is possible. But if you look at history, things do change, and if your business is static, you're likely to have issues.
Larry Page
If you ask an economist what’s driven economic growth, it’s been major advances in things that mattered - the mechanization of farming, mass manufacturing, things like that. The problem is, our society is not organized around doing that.
Larry Page
If you’re not doing some things that are crazy, then you’re doing the wrong things.
Larry Page
You may think using Google's great, but I still think it's terrible.
Larry Page
We have a mantra: don't be evil, which is to do the best things we know how for our users, for our customers, for everyone. So I think if we were known for that, it would be a wonderful thing.
Larry Page
Part of our brand is that we're pretty understated in what we do. If you look at other technology companies, they might preannounce things, and it will be a couple years before they really happen, and they don't happen in the way they said they would.
Larry Page
The Web is a vast collection of completely uncontrolled heterogeneous documents.
Larry Page
I remember turning in my first assignment in elementary school using the computer and the teachers were kind of confused that I had printed it.
Larry Page
Our mission is to organize the world's information. Clearly, the more information we have when we do a search, the better it's going to work.
Larry Page
We believe strongly that in the long term, we will be better served - as shareholders and in all other ways - by a company that does good things for the world even if we forgo some short term gains. This is an important aspect of our culture and is broadly shared within the company.
Larry Page
You have to combine both things: invention and innovation focus, plus the company that can commercialize things and get them to people.
Larry Page
Optimism is important. You have to be a little silly about the goals you are going to set. There is a phrase I learned in college called, 'having a healthy disregard for the impossible.' That is a really good phrase. You should try to do things that most people would not do.
Larry Page
You can try to control people, or you can try to have a system that represents reality. I find that knowing what's really happening is more important than trying to control people.
Larry Page
