No industry or country can reach its full potential until women reach their full potential. This is especially true of science and technology, where women with a surplus of talent still face a deficit of opportunity.

More quotes by Sheryl Sandberg
Women don't take enough risks. Men are just 'foot on the gas pedal.' We're not going to close the achievement gap until we close the ambition gap.
Sheryl Sandberg
What works for men does not always work for women, because success and likability are positively correlated for men and negatively correlated for women. That's what the research shows. As a man gets more successful, everyone is rooting for him. As a woman gets more successful, both men and women like her less.
Sheryl Sandberg
Don't make decisions too far in advance, particularly ones you're not even conscious you're making.
Sheryl Sandberg
We [Facebook] really believe in enabling people to be their authentic selves on the web, and enabling people to communicate directly with each other in a very personal way.
Sheryl Sandberg
Communication starts with the understanding that there is my point of view (my truth) and someone else's point of view (his truth). Rarely is there one absolute truth, so people who believe that they speak the truth are very silencing of others.
Sheryl Sandberg
I just believed. I believed that the technology would change people's lives. I believed putting real identity online - putting technology behind real identity - was the missing link.
Sheryl Sandberg
When I went to college, as much as my parents emphasized academic achievement, they emphasized marriage even more. They told me that the most eligible women marry young to get a 'good man' before they are all taken.
Sheryl Sandberg
You know, there has never been a 24-hour period in five years when I have not responded to e-mail at Facebook. I am not saying it's easy. I work long hours.
Sheryl Sandberg
The reason I don't have a plan is because if I have a plan I'm limited to today's options.
Sheryl Sandberg
I had heard that when people lost people, there was anger. But I definitely experienced it a lot more than I was prepared for it. Anger was not something I'd ever really felt in my life and I was not prepared for it.
Sheryl Sandberg
I really think we need more women to lean into their careers and to be really dedicated to staying in the work force.
Sheryl Sandberg
We cannot change what we are not aware of, and once we are aware, we cannot help but change.
Sheryl Sandberg
Facebook is great for women and men. We are enormously flexible. We care a lot about great opportunities for women, we push ourselves to make things as flexible as possible.
Sheryl Sandberg
I wish I could just go tell all the young women I work with, all these fabulous women, 'Believe in yourself and negotiate for yourself. Own your own success.' I wish I could tell that to my daughter. But it's not that simple.
Sheryl Sandberg
Our aspirations are really for women to be in half the leadership roles and men to be doing half the work of parenting.
Sheryl Sandberg
Two things that I think matter are gratitude and joy.
Sheryl Sandberg
Getting from point A to point Z can be daunting unless you remember that you don’t have to get from A to Z. You just have to get from A to B. Breaking big dreams into small steps is the way to move forward.
Sheryl Sandberg
No one gets to the top, if they sit on the sidelines, or if they don't believe in themselves.
Sheryl Sandberg
I probably shouldn't admit this since I work in the tech industry, but I still prefer reading paper books.
Sheryl Sandberg
The most important thing - and I've said it a hundred times and I'll say it a hundred times - if you marry a man, marry the right one.
Sheryl Sandberg
