Jeff Bezos

We wake up every morning and say, 'How can we delight our customers?'

The Internet is not a zero-sum game.

We are going to make long-term bets, and some of them won't pay off. But the ones that do will be big.

I think it's important to be stubborn on vision, but flexible on details.

I'm always looking for ways to reduce prices for customers.

We are not a media company. We are a technology company.

I believe in the power of invention.

We want to empower people to do more.

If you're not stubborn, you'll give up on experiments too soon. And if you're not flexible, you'll pound your head against the wall and you won't see a different solution to a problem you're trying to solve.

I'm not a big fan of work-life balance. I think it's a trap.

If you do build a great experience, customers tell each other about that. Word of mouth is very powerful.

What's dangerous is not to evolve.

We are not a 'get big fast' company. We are a 'get good fast' company.

I think if you're going to be an inventor, you have to be willing to be a little bit crazy.

The thing that I have noticed is that in life, people who are excellent at anything are passionate about it.

I know what I'm doing. I'm building a company that will last for 100 years.

We don’t make money when we sell things. We make money when we help customers make purchasing decisions.

I believe in the long term. And I believe in the power of patience.

You can have a good idea, but if you don't execute it well, it's not going to go anywhere.

We need to be willing to be misunderstood for long periods of time.
