I don’t use Twitter for bad.

There is a real danger that computers will develop intelligence and take over. We urgently need to develop direct connections to the brain so that computers can add to human intelligence rather than be in opposition.

I believe many people feel like God is mad at them. One day I put a post on Facebook that said, ‚God is not mad at you.‘ Within a few hours, we literally had thousands of positive responses from people saying things like, ‚That is exactly what I needed to hear today.‘ Obviously, this is a message we need to hear.

I think that we all know what evil is. We have a sense of what’s evil, and certainly killing innocent people is evil. We’re less sure about what is good. There’s sort of good, good enough, could be better – but absolute good is a little harder to define.

Idealism is the noble toga that political gentlemen drape over their will to power.

The Internet made fame wack and anonymity cool.

Doctors will have more lives to answer for in the next world than even we generals.

It is now quite lawful for a Catholic woman to avoid pregnancy by a resort to mathematics, though she is still forbidden to resort to physics or chemistry.

Politics have no relation to morals.

I don’t like people looking at someone else’s image.

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.

If a person is successful, we imagine they are probably also ethical, conscientious and deserving of their good fortune. This obscures the fact that many people who get ahead have done so by doing less than moral actions, which they cleverly disguise from view.

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.

I’ve never been a manipulator, even in my bachelor days. I never wanted to do things to people that could catch up with me later on.

Can anything be stupider than that a man has the right to kill me because he lives on the other side of a river and his ruler has a quarrel with mine, though I have not quarrelled with him?

I created my MySpace page in eighth grade, because that’s how all my friends talked to each other, so I made one, too. Then, all of a sudden, my friends started putting my songs on their profiles, and then their relatives, their friends in different states did.

My Twitter reflects what’s going on with me in my life.

In a certain sense the Good is comfortless.

The superior man understands what is right; the inferior man understands what will sell.

Reverence for life affords me my fundamental principle of morality.

One may no more live in the world without picking up the moral prejudices of the world than one will be able to go to hell without perspiring.

When you say ‚follow me on Twitter,‘ and you get 10 million people to follow you – you just leveraged your influence to add value to an app that you have no ownership in.

In retrospect, I do think it’s fair to say that we were overly idealistic and focused on more of the good parts of what connecting people and giving people a voice can bring.

Honor and shame from no condition rise. Act well your part: there all the honor lies.

Polygamy: An endeavour to get more out of life than there is in it.

MySpace is my wife… Facebook is my mistress.

Morality is the theory that every human act must be either right or wrong, and that 99 % of them are wrong.

May you live your life as if the maxim of your actions were to become universal law.

The difference between a moral man and a man of honor is that the latter regrets a discreditable act, even when it has worked and he has not been caught.

Please don’t make the mistake of thinking that ‚Oryx and Crake‘ is anti-science. Science is a way of knowing, and a tool. Like all ways of knowing and tools, it can be turned to bad uses. And it can be bought and sold, and it often is. But it is not in itself bad. Like electricity, it’s neutral.

Social media is called social media for a reason. It lends itself to sharing rather than horn-tooting.

Don’t you love it that Prince doesn’t use Twitter? Don’t you think he’s somewhere on a unicorn?

States should have the right to enact laws… particularly to end the inhumane practice of ending a life that otherwise could live.

He who commits injustice is ever made more wretched than he who suffers it.

Truth is certainly a branch of morality and a very important one to society.

In general, we’re a social network. I prefer that because I think it is focused on the people part of it – as opposed to some people call it social media, which I think focuses more on the content.

Virtue cannot separate itself from reality without becoming a principle of evil.

The virtue of justice consists in moderation, as regulated by wisdom.

Video is growing very quickly on Facebook. A lot of people compare that to YouTube. I think that kind of makes sense. YouTube isn’t the only video service, but I think it’s the biggest, and it probably makes more sense to compare Facebook video to YouTube rather than Netflix because that’s a completely different kind of content.

A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.

Great bodies of people are never responsible for what they do.

Honor is the reward of virtue.

I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.

Games is probably the biggest industry today that has gone really social, right. I mean, the incumbent game companies are really being disrupted and are quickly trying to become social. And you have companies like Zynga.

A leader who doesn’t hesitate before he sends his nation into battle is not fit to be a leader.

Nonviolence is a good policy when the conditions permit.

I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.

Violence is both unavoidable and unjustifiable.

May be is very well, but Must is the master. It is my duty to show justice without recompense.

Ordinary morality is innate in my view.

Don’t create more enemies than you take out by some immoral act.

This younger generation that’s around, that’s tweeting, Facebooking and Vine-ing, the fans appreciate that because they feel like they can get to you.

When you look at a corporation, just like when you look at a slave owner, you want to distinguish between the institution and the individual. So slavery, for example, or other forms of tyranny, are inherently monstrous. The individuals participating in them may be the nicest guys you can imagine.

Wherever there is interest and power to do wrong, wrong will generally be done.

I can tell you this: If I’m ever in a position to call the shots, I’m not going to rush to send somebody else’s kids into a war.

So long as governments set the example of killing their enemies, private individuals will occasionally kill theirs.

I just think people have a lot of fiction. But, you know, I mean, 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.

A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business.

Happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected.

If we do not maintain justice, justice will not maintain us.

Everybody around me had a Snapchat, and I said I would never get on it. I’m still on Instagram, you know? They convinced me to get Snapchat.
