Larry Page Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Larry Page:

Lots of companies don't succeed over time. What do they fundamentally do wrong? They usually miss the future.

It's quite complicated and sounds circular, but we've worked out a way of calculate a Web site's importance.

Larry Page

The ultimate search engine would basically understand everything in the world, and it would always give you the right thing. And we're a long, long ways from that.

Larry Page

If you say you want to automate cars and save people's lives, the skills you need for that aren't taught in any particular discipline. I know - I was interested in working on automating cars when I was a Ph.D. student in 1995.

Lots of companies don't succeed over time. What do they fundamentally do wrong? They usually miss the future.

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

You know what it's like to wake up in the middle of the night with a vivid dream? And you know that if you don't have a pencil and pad by the bed, it will be completely gone by the next morning. Sometimes it's important to wake up and stop dreaming. When a really great dream shows up, grab it.

Larry Page

Big companies have always needed and cooperated in areas where it made sense.

Larry Page

You may think using Google's great, but I still think it's terrible.

Larry Page

For me, privacy and security are really important. We think about it in terms of both: You can't have privacy without security.

Larry Page

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

I like going to Burning Man, for example. An environment where people can try new things. I think as technologists we should have some safe places where we can try out new things and figure out the effect on society. What's the effect on people, without having to deploy it to the whole world.

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

I can't really comment on rumors.

Larry Page

If you're changing the world, you're working on important things. You're excited to get up in the morning.

Larry Page

You need to invent things and you need to get them to people. You need to commercialize those inventions. Obviously, the best way we've come up with doing that is through companies.

Larry Page

My grandfather was an autoworker, and I have a weapon he manufactured to protect himself from the company that he would carry to work. It's a big iron pipe with a hunk of lead on the head. I think about how far we've come as companies from those days, where workers had to protect themselves from the company.

Larry Page

My job as a leader is to make sure everybody in the company has great opportunities, and that they feel they're having a meaningful impact and are contributing to the good of society. As a world, we're doing a better job of that. My goal is for Google to lead, not follow that.

Larry Page

Basically, our goal is to organize the world's information and to make it universally accessible and useful.

Larry Page

I really like using my Samsung (005930:KS) tablet. I previously used the Motorola Xoom for a while and liked that.

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

It really matters whether people are working on generating clean energy or improving transportation or making the Internet work better and all those things. And small groups of people can have a really huge impact.

Larry Page

We don't have as many managers as we should, but we would rather have too few than too many.

Larry Page

I have over 2 million followers now on Google Plus.

Larry Page

If your access to health care involves your leaving work and driving somewhere and parking and waiting for a long time, that's not going to promote healthiness.

Larry Page

We want to build technology that everybody loves using, and that affects everyone. We want to create beautiful, intuitive services and technologies that are so incredibly useful that people use them twice a day. Like they use a toothbrush. There aren't that many things people use twice a day.

Larry Page

We can't have democracy if we're having to protect you and our users from the government over stuff we've never had a conversation about. We need to know what the parameters are, what kind of surveillance the government is going to do, and how and why.

Larry Page

We're at maybe 1% of what is possible. Despite the faster change, we're still moving slow relative to the opportunities we have. I think a lot of that is because of the negativity... Every story I read is Google vs someone else. That's boring. We should be focusing on building the things that don't exist.

Larry Page

Invention is not enough. Tesla invented the electric power we use, but he struggled to get it out to people. You have to combine both things: invention and innovation focus, plus the company that can commercialize things and get them to people.

Larry Page

Most people think companies are basically evil. They get a bad rap. And I think that's somewhat correct.

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.
