My own view is that every company requires a long-term view.

If we can keep our competitors focused on us while we stay focused on the customer, ultimately we'll turn out all right.

If you're going to invest in an Internet stock, you must be a long-term investor.

Our vision is every book ever printed in any language [fetched and viewable on our eBook Kindle device] in under 60 seconds.

If you are going to do large-scale invention, you have to be willing to do three things: You must be willing to fail; you have to be willing to think long term; and you have to be willing to be misunderstood for long periods of time.

I try to spend my time on areas that I think are important for the future, and where I think I can add value.

Everything you are comes from your choices.
