Steve Case
One of the biggest challenges we had in the first decade was not that many people had personal computers. There weren't that many people to sell to, and it was hard to identify them.

Steve Case
The pace of change and the threat of disruption creates tremendous opportunities.

I continue to have a special pride and passion for AOL, and I strongly believe that AOL - once the leading Internet company in the world - can return to its past greatness
Steve Case
Nowadays people seem to switch schools, either because they have to, and certain schools only serve certain grades, or because they move to a different place or have some particular interest, but I was in the same school for 13 years
Steve Case
If you really got the right people, and you've got them working together as a team, whether it's in business, whether it's in science, whether it's in politics, you can make a big difference.
Steve Case
If you don't have both of them working together in a complementary, cohesive way, you're not going to be successful.
Steve Case
At AOL, we thought the killer app was people
Steve Case
I want to find people who have had to work hard and who have learned from their failures. Perseverance is no guarantee you’ll succeed, but without it, it’s almost guaranteed you won’t.
Steve Case

Steve Case
