Sayings by Larry Page
My job is to make sure Google has a lot of projects that fail.
I think it is often easier to make progress on mega-ambitious dreams. I know that sounds completely nuts.
The only way you are going to get to be good at anything is to be able to make mistakes. And I think that's why we're successful.
If we were motivated by money, we would have sold Google and retired.
We want to build things that are important and meaningfully improve the lives of billions of people.
Basically, our goal is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.
I think part of the reason we were successful was we didn't really have a business plan.
Sergey and I designed Google to be the company that we wanted to work for.
We don’t have a lot of rules at Google. We try to operate in a very flat way.
We are not a conventional company. We do not intend to become one.
We are still at the very beginning of the Internet. There is still so much to do.
The ultimate search engine would understand everything in the world.
I think it's very important to have a feedback loop, where you're constantly thinking about what you've done and how you could be doing it better.
We're not trying to be a monopoly. We're trying to be a good company.
We don’t just want to be successful. We want to be really successful.
I'm a big believer in the power of many, many small things to add up to big things.
It is important to be a little bit crazy.
We really want to make sure we are not annoying users.
We try to only hire people who are smarter than us.
My goal is to make Google a company that will be around for a very long time.
