I actually don’t read most of the coverage about Facebook. I try to learn from getting input from people who use our services directly more than from pundits.

Given how few young people actually read the newspaper, it’s a good thing they’ll be reading a newspaper on a screen.

I think a role model is a mentor – someone you see on a daily basis, and you learn from them.

I don’t think anybody would argue now that the Internet isn’t becoming a major factor in our lives. However, it’s very new to us. Newsreaders still feel it is worth a special and rather worrying mention if, for instance, a crime was planned by people ‚over the Internet.‘

Mistakes can be corrected by those who pay attention to facts but dogmatism will not be corrected by those who are wedded to a vision.

I’ve always been at the intersection of computers and whatever they can revolutionize.

What really motivates people at Facebook is building something that’s worthwhile, that they’re going to be proud to show to friends and family.

I just think that VR and AR are going to be a really big deal.

The proactive approach to a mistake is to acknowledge it instantly, correct and learn from it.

Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it.

There is, so I believe, in the essence of everything, something that we cannot call learning. There is, my friend, only a knowledge – that is everywhere.

Men do not learn much from the lessons of history and that is the most important of all the lessons of history.

Computers make me totally blank out.

Between the ages of fifteen and twenty-four, I must have read a whole library.

When I speak at my local church, which I try to do 35 to 40 times a year, I try in every lesson to take the Old Testament text or New Testament text and apply them to what is happening to me or how that applies to the audience that I’m teaching in a modern, fast-changing, technological world. I use headlines, interfaith and that sort of thing.

Experience teaches only the teachable.

We are not going to be satisfied by politicians saying ‚we support you‘ and then walking away. We won’t be satisfied until they meet our demands and act. That’s why simply taking a selfie or posting support on Twitter isn’t enough. That’s why we have to keep striking.

Yeah, I like to keep myself interested – I’ll kind of throw myself into some area that I don’t completely know or understand, that I’m not adept at, so I’m forced to swim in order to stay afloat. There’s a good feeling that comes from that.

I invented the cordless extension cord.

The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.

I’m just looking to learn, grow, stay focused, and become a better fighter and a better athlete.

I think there are going to be a bunch of tablet-like devices. It’s really a different product category.

I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.

With a computer, you make your changes on the screen and then you print out a clean copy. With a typewriter, you can’t get a clean manuscript unless you start again from scratch. It’s an incredibly tedious process.

You can’t be in love with a Google search.

I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen.

It is a no-fail, incontrovertible reality: If you get, give. If you learn, teach. You can’t do anything with that except do it.

After ten years of word processing, I can’t even do hand writing anymore.

Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time.

History is a relentless master. It has no present, only the past rushing into the future. To try to hold fast is to be swept aside.

Well, Apple invented the PC as we know it, and then it invented the graphical user interface as we know it eight years later (with the introduction of the Mac). But then, the company had a decade in which it took a nap.

The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.

I really learned to sing in church, I think, really with emotion.

California has a special relationship with the Internet. Many of the core technologies that power the Internet were invented here. Many of the most successful online entrepreneurs and content creators – in business, the arts, and countless other endeavors – got their start here.

The civilized man has built a coach, but has lost the use of his feet.

The real story of Facebook is just that we’ve worked so hard for all this time. I mean, the real story is actually probably pretty boring, right? I mean, we just sat at our computers for six years and coded.

I go to school the youth to learn the future.

Part of what made the Macintosh great was that the people working on it were musicians, poets, and artists, and zoologists, and historians. They also happened to be the best computer scientists in the world. But if it hadn’t been computer science, these people would have been doing amazing things in other fields.

We will explore the mysteries of science and harness the power of technology and innovation. We will realise the opportunities of the digital world. Our youth will learn more from – and with – each other.

I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.

I very much believe the Internet is indeed all it is cracked up to be.

Despite all our gains in technology, product innovation and world markets, most people are not thriving in the organizations they work for.

Find what’s hot, find what’s just opened and then look for the worst review of the week. There is so much to learn from watching a restaurant getting absolutely panned and having a bad experience. Go and see it for yourself.

By reading, you learn through others‘ experiences, generally, a better way to do business, especially in our line of work where the consequences of incompetence are so final for young men.

I’m very excited about having the Internet in my den.

The intersection of law, politics, and technology is going to force a lot of good thinking.

There can never be any stop to learn about different cultures by travelling to different places. And whatever comes your way, continue the healthy eating habits.

Now the playbook is we build AI tools to go find these fake accounts, find coordinated networks of inauthentic activity, and take them down; we make it much harder for anyone to advertise in ways that they shouldn’t be.

The instrument that I never learned how to play was my fans. You know, they are the part of the story that nobody teaches you. I just want to do the right thing; I want to be a voice with them, among them.

Social media is reducing social barriers. It connects people on the strength of human values, not identities.

I do think there is a lot of potential if you have a compelling product and people are willing to pay a premium for that. I think that is what Apple has shown. You can buy a much cheaper cell phone or laptop, but Apple’s product is so much better than the alternative, and people are willing to pay that premium.

The absolute transformation of everything that we ever thought about music will take place within 10 years, and nothing is going to be able to stop it. I see absolutely no point in pretending that it’s not going to happen. I’m fully confident that copyright, for instance, will no longer exist in 10 years.

The ideas gained by men before they are twenty-five are practically the only ideas they shall have in their lives.

The beginning of an acquaintance whether with persons or things is to get a definite outline of our ignorance.

Do not be embarrassed by your failures, learn from them and start again.

You can always think of something like the Xbox 360 as a super set-top box that can do everything the set-top box does, but then have the graphics to do the games as well.

Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.

Facebook is inherently viral. There are lots of sites that include a contact importer, and for lots of them it doesn’t really make sense. For Facebook it fits so well. It wasn’t until a few years in that we started building some tools that made it easier to import friends to the site. That was a huge thing that spiked growth.

Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history. Unfortunately, it might also be the last, unless we learn how to avoid the risks.

Every book you pick up has its own lesson or lessons, and quite often the bad books have more to teach than the good ones.

Really advanced civilization is based on advances in energy.
