Facebook, Google, Apple, Yahoo - there's a common theme. None of these companies ever sold. By staying independent, they were able to build a great company.

Our company has to be a company that enables its people.

Companies are communities. There's a spirit of working together. Communities are not a place where a few people allow themselves to be singled out as solely responsible for success.

In terms of companies, they must stand for something bigger. They must be dedicated to something larger than financial results. I reject the Milton Friedman belief that a company's sole responsibility is to the shareholders.

I'm not only a fan of Apple products, I have stock in the company. I think Steve Jobs has started one of the greatest corporations in the world.

I have been quoted saying that, in the future, all companies will be Internet companies. I still believe that. More than ever, really.

Talking about corporations - they're so big. There's not a person at a corporation.

You cannot have companies where many of the largest ones lose money indefinitely without someone finally waving the white flag, and IBM is the most recent example of that.

But Wall Street people are in fact very smart; they're funny, they're not company men who work their way up the chain.

Relatively few people should start companies.
