As we go forward, I hope we're going to continue to use technology to make really big differences in how people live and work.

The kind of environment that we developed Google in, the reason that we were able to develop a search engine, is the web was so open. Once you get too many rules, that will stifle innovation.

If what we are doing is not seen by some people as science fiction, it's probably not transformative enough

Solving big problems is easier than solving little problems.

We are currently not planning on conquering the world.

When I was growing up, I always knew I'd be in the top of my class in math, and that gave me a lot of self-confidence.

The name was supposed to be 'Googol,' which is the mathematical term for a 1 followed by 100 zeroes. It was before the Google spellchecker existed.

Obviously everyone wants to be successful, but I want to be looked back on as being very innovative, very trusted and ethical and ultimately making a big difference in the world.

We came up with the notion that not all web pages are created equal. People are – but not web pages.

When it’s too easy to get money, then you get a lot of noise mixed in with the real innovation and entrepreneurship. Tough times bring out the best parts of Silicon Valley.

Death walks faster than the wind and never returns what he has taken.

Men and women who give [Christ] first place find that there is no need for anxiety about this world’s goods.

SOVEREIGNTYSovereignty is a wind of change. (Hariri)

This wasn't any mere song and dance; here was a bold, blaring declaration howling itself into the empty face of death.

How many Sundays - how many hundreds of Sundays like this - lay ahead of me? “Quiet, peaceful, and lonely,” I said aloud to myself. On Sundays, I didn't wind my spring.

I think that sometimes the difference between winning and losing, success and failure, is this gray line between will, passion and self-belief that says, 'I'm going to do this'.

What I've noticed is that when people win huge and they have those huge, huge successes, sometimes they forget about the actual acting of it, and sometimes it's hard to come down from their perch.

...what threatens us today in the world of computers and other invasions of privacy is not a national ID card but a number of other things.

An idea in the head is like a rock in the shoe; I just can't wait to get it out.

Anything that is excellent or praiseworthy stands moment by moment on the cutting edge and must be constantly fought for. Well placed priorities always sit on the edge.
