You can't stumble upon something new and wonderful if you don't have time to stumble.

The only thing Google has failed to do, so far, is fail.

I like to say StumbleUpon provides a personal tour of the Internet. The responses are more targeted to your interests than they would be with a regular search engine. If you choose a topic on our site that you're interested in, such as art, Web sites related to art appear, as if you're leafing through an art magazine.

You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try.

I did an early version of my site where it was virtually impossible to get through it, just as a statement about the web. But after a few laughs and some angry e-mails, I realized it wasn't doing me much good. I think the web has become more about the final product, not what it takes to get to it.

If you know what you want, you use Google. But if you don't know what you want, and you want to be surprised and find something you didn't expect, we want you come to StumbleUpon. Really, that idea of being a discovery engine versus a search engine.

Everybody else is afraid to fail. I do not really care because when I fail, I try something new.

StumbleUpon has humanized the Web and mastered a way for people to discover online content by incorporating an individual's personal preferences and recommendations of friends and like-minded people.

We all fail - I have failed so many times, but it never discourages me. I just pick up and go.

Every stumble is not a fall, and every fall does not mean failure.
