Americans have so much natural entrepreneurial drive. The caveat is that it is technology that should be a tool making lives better in the real world, and in line with the American spirit of getting better and better at something, whether it's curing cancer or creating a better taxi service.

American inventiveness and the desire to build developed because we were guaranteed the right to own our success.

It's more important than ever for America to rededicate itself to manufacturing at home. When we make more products in America, more American families will make it.

You know that American dream and American spirit of innovation we always talk about? Turns out, the bulk of it was built by people who came to America from somewhere else, not people born American. We have no birthright or natural lock on these things.

People who've had very unhappy childhoods are pretty good at inventing themselves. If nobody invents you for yourself, nothing is left but to invent yourself for others.

It is entirely up to us to invent our own lives.

America is a nation that conceives many odd inventions for getting somewhere but it can think of nothing to do once it gets there.

Our family's fortune is growing faster than ever. We're a part of a small number of American families that own most of the country's wealth. But having so much in the hands of so few can't be good for America.

I've felt a little culpable that we entrepreneurs often invent businesses just to drive people to buy more things.

For over two centuries, Americans have grown up in a society that rewards hard work, protects innovation, and allows its citizens to constantly break new barriers. The key element to this success rests on freedom and the ability of individuals to strive toward achieving their dreams and making their children's futures better than their own.
