Move fast and break things. Unless you are breaking stuff, you are not moving fast enough.

I started Facebook when I was 19; I was just a kid. I knew nothing about business and
nothing had ever been written about me. So, a lot of these experiences along the way were
really new and took some getting-used to.
– Mark Zuckerberg
Move fast. Take risks. It’s ok to try big things. You’re better off trying something and having
it not work and then learning from that than having not done anything at all.
– Mark Zuckerberg
When you give everyone a voice and give people power, the system usually ends up in a
really good place. So, what we view our role as, is giving people that power.
– Mark Zuckerberg
By giving people the power to share, we’re making the world more transparent.
– Mark Zuckerberg
Serving more people, increasing your customer base and making them more deeply engaged is
by itself good business.
– Mark Zuckerberg
People can be really smart or have skills that are directly applicable, but if they don’t really
believe in it, then they are not going to really work hard.
– Mark Zuckerberg
Creating channels between people who want to work together toward change has always
been one of the ways that social movements push the world forward and make it better.
– Mark Zuckerberg
You know what we are trying to do at Facebook is just help people connect and comunicate
more efficiently.
– Mark Zuckerberg
People want to go online and check out their friends, so why not build a website that offers
that? Friends, pictures, profiles, whatever you can visit, browse around, maybe it’s someone
you just met at a party.
– Mark Zuckerberg
You don’t get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies.
– Mark Zuckerberg
People are learning how to use the site and what’s ok to share. As time goes on, people will
learn what’s appropriate, what’s safe for them – and learn to share accordingly.
– Mark Zuckerberg
So obviously, a big part of our mission is just connecting all these different people in the world.
And one of the things that we are really proud of is that now 800 million people around the
world are using Facebook every month and perhaps even crazier. It’s mind-blowing from my
perspective. But more than half a billion people use Facebook every day. And I just think that’s
crazy.
– Mark Zuckerberg
Phones are inherently social devices and the industry is just beginning to discover what’s
possible.
– Mark Zuckerberg
Our goal is not to build a platform; it’s to be across all of them.
– Mark Zuckerberg
We are working hard to build a service that everyone, everywhere can use. Whether they are a
person, a company, a president or an organisation working for change.
– Mark Zuckerberg
The company is definitely set up in a way where myself and the other founders have a lot of
control over it.
– Mark Zuckerberg
We’re running the company to serve more people.
– Mark Zuckerberg
Our revenue numbers are up and our growth continues to scale very rapidly. This investment
is purely buffer for us, and not something we need to get cashflow positive.
– Mark Zuckerberg
We are young, so I have to be thinking about the longterm, you know, and how the stuff is
going to play out. And I think that the way that you achieve the best longterm value is by
building real value in the world. Are we actually helping them achieve their goal of
understanding the world? And if we can do that, I don’t think we’re gonna gave a hard time
making money.
– Mark Zuckerberg
A lot of people think that innovation is just having a great idea. But a lot of it is just moving
quickly and trying a lot of things. So, at Facebook we’ve really built our company and our
culture around us.
– Mark Zuckerberg
Almost any mistake you can make in running a company, I’ve probably made.
– Mark Zuckerberg
The last six years have been a lot of coding and focus and hard work. But maybe it would be
fun to remember it as partying and all this crazy drama.
– Mark Zuckerberg
We encourage you to participate and make your voice heard.
– Mark Zuckerberg
Facebook has not once bought a company for the company itself. We buy companies to get
excellent people.
– Mark Zuckerberg
Ma’am, I know you’ve done your homework and so you know that money isn’t a big part of my
life, but at the moment I could buy Mt. Auburn Street, take the Phoenix Club, and turn it into
my ping-pong room.
– Mark Zuckerberg
Google certainly is trying to build their own little version of Facebook.
– Mark Zuckerberg
I spend a lot of my time at the office and I have a studio apartment a couple blocks away
where it’s just my bed, and like a table and a chair and a teapot. I don’t even have internet
access at my apartment. So, I don’t know, I’m pretty isolated from whatever I need to be.
Either that, or the fact that I’m too lazy to get internet access.
– Mark Zuckerberg
The most important to me is to be within walking distance of office. So every morning I can
just wake up and walk 5, 10 minutes to work.
– Mark Zuckerberg
If people feel like they don’t have control over how they’re sharing things, then we’re failing
them.
– Mark Zuckerberg
If you just work on stuff that you like and you’re passionate about, you don’t have to have a
master plan with how things will play out.
– Mark Zuckerberg
I think, a simple rule of business is, if you do the things that are easier first, then you can
actually make a lot of progress.
– Mark Zuckerberg
If Facebook were a country, it would be the 8th most populated in the world, just ahead of
Japan.
– Mark Zuckerberg
I mean, all of my friends who have younger siblings who are going to college or high school, I
mean, my number one piece of advice is you should learn how to program.
– Mark Zuckerberg
The goal wasn’t to make a huge community site; it was to make something where you can
type in someone’s name and find out a bunch of information on them.
– Mark Zuckerberg
In reality, we wouldn’t share your information in a way you wouldn’t want. The trust you place
in us as a safe place to share information is the most important part of what makes Facebook
work.
– Mark Zuckerberg
It’s not because of the amount of money. For me and my colleagues, the most important
thing is that we create an open information flow for people. Having media corporations owned
by conglomerates is just not an attractive idea to me.
