The thing that we are trying to do at facebook, is just help people connect and communicate more efficiently. -- Mark Zuckerberg
The question isn't, 'What do we want to know about people?', It's, 'What do people want to tell about themselves?' -- Mark Zuckerberg

So when the next economic crisis hits and people are talking about where to cut from the budget, science isn't the thing. -- Mark Zuckerberg
Our mission is to make the world more open and connected. We do this by giving people the power to share whatever they want and be connected to whoever they want, no matter where they are. -- Mark Zuckerberg

You can be so bad at so many things ... and as long as you stay focused on how you're providing value to your users and customers, and you have something that is unique and valuable ... you get through all that stuff. -- Mark Zuckerberg

The ability to share whole scenes form our lives will be a valuable thing over time. -- Mark Zuckerberg

We are a mission-driven company. In order to do this, we have to build a great team. And in order to do that, you need people to know they can make a bunch of money. So we need a business model to make a lot of money. -- Mark Zuckerberg
We also have a dog. His name's Beast. He's a sheepdog. He's super cute. I love him. -- Mark Zuckerberg
I'd like to show an improved product rather than just talk about things we might do. -- Mark Zuckerberg
It used to be the case, like you'd switch jobs, and then maybe you wouldn't keep in touch with all the people that you knew from that old job, just because it was too hard.

If Facebook were a country, it would be the 8th most populated in the world, just ahead of Japan. -- Mark Zuckerberg

People influence people. Nothing influences people more than a recommendation from a trusted friend. A trusted referral influences people more than the best broadcast message. A trusted referral is the Holy Grail of advertising. -- Mark Zuckerberg
Founding a company is hard. Most of it isn't smooth. You'll have to make very hard decisions. You have to fire a few people. Therefore, if you don't believe in your mission, giving up is easy. The majority of founders give up. But the best founders don't give up. -- Mark Zuckerberg
Some of the best ideas throughout the company's evolution have been from places all throughout the company whether it's an engineer or someone on the customer support team. Just different areas around the company. -- Mark Zuckerberg
I feel that the best companies are started not because the founder wanted a company but because the founder wanted to change the world ... If you decide you want to found a company, you maybe start to develop your first idea. And hire lots of workers. -- Mark Zuckerberg
Providing the best photo sharing experience is one reason why so many people love Facebook and we knew it would be worth bringing these two companies together. -- Mark Zuckerberg
If you live in an area where there is not a good school, the internet may be the best way to get access to a lot of education material. The same is true if there is not a good doctor - the internet may be the best way to get access to health. -- Mark Zuckerberg
If you're always under the pressure of real identity, I think that is somewhat of a burden. -- Mark Zuckerberg
And connected is helping people stay in touch and maintain empathy for each other, and bandwidth. -- Mark Zuckerberg

There's a level of service that we could provide when we're just at Harvard that we can't provide for all of the colleges, and there's a level of service that we can provide when we're a college network that we wouldn't be able to provide if we went to other types of things. -- Mark Zuckerberg
Working with a lot of people at the same time is a task. I really like making stuff and getting stuff done. One of the things I really liked about Facebook was that I could always move so quickly. I wrote the original application in, like, nine days at the end of January. -- Mark Zuckerberg
You grow more when you get more people's perspective. -- Mark Zuckerberg
If we're trying to build a world-class News Feed and a world-class messaging product and a world-class search product and a world-class ad system, and invent virtual reality and build drones, I can't write every line of code. I can't write any lines of code. -- Mark Zuckerberg
When I started Facebook from my dorm room in 2004, the idea that my roommates and I talked about all the time was a world that was more open. -- Mark Zuckerberg
It is really important for us that people understand what the strategy is and that the real approach is to make everything social, not to build a vertical approach. -- Mark Zuckerberg
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. -- Mark Zuckerberg
I don't have an alarm clock. If someone needs to wake me up, then I have my BlackBerry next to me. -- Mark Zuckerberg
When I look around the world and see so many countries turning people away, I think it is terrible. And I know that these are all issues that Germany is culturally dealing with in terms of integration but it is just something that I deeply admire. -- Mark Zuckerberg
I would only hire someone to work directly for me if I was willing to work for that person. -- Mark Zuckerberg
At Facebook, we build tools to help people connect with the people they want and share what they want, and by doing this we are extending people's capacity to build and maintain relationships. -- Mark Zuckerberg
Companies face a handful of different risks, whether it is competitors or different market environments. But I think that people focus way too much on competitors and not enough on their own execution. -- Mark Zuckerberg

I think humans are just hard-wired to process people's faces and understand meaning and expression at such a more granular level than other types of communication. -- Mark Zuckerberg

Our work to improve privacy continues today. -- Mark Zuckerberg
People don't care about what someone says about you in a movie - or even what you say, right? They care about what you build. And if you can make something that makes people's life better, then that's something that's really good. -- Mark Zuckerberg
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. -- Mark Zuckerberg

I think people tend to be worried about every new technology that comes along. -- Mark Zuckerberg
I do everything on my phone as a lot of people do. -- Mark Zuckerberg
There are people who are really good managers, people who can manage a big organization, and then there are people who are very analytic or focused on strategy. Those two types don't usually tend to be in the same person. I would put myself much more in the latter camp. -- Mark Zuckerberg
If people want change, then they will find a way to get that change. So, whatever technology they may or may not have used was neither a necessary nor sufficient case for getting to the outcome that they got to, but having people who wanted change was. -- Mark Zuckerberg

Mobile is a lot closer to TV than it is to desktop. -- Mark Zuckerberg
There are different ways to do innovation. You can plant a lot of seeds, not be committed to any particular one of them, but just see what grows. And this really isn't how we've approached this. We go mission-first, then focus on the pieces we need and go deep on them and be committed to them. -- Mark Zuckerberg
I think I've grown and learned a lot -- Mark Zuckerberg
I remember flying in, driving down 101 in a cab, and passing by all these tech companies like Yahoo! I remember thinking, 'Maybe someday we'll build a company. This probably isn't it, but one day we will.' -- Mark Zuckerberg
