Basically, our goal is to organize the world's information and to make it universally accessible and useful.

The ultimate search engine would basically understand everything in the world, and it would always give you the right thing. And we're a long, long ways from that.

If your access to health care involves your leaving work and driving somewhere and parking and waiting for a long time, that's not going to promote healthiness.

We have always tried to concentrate on the long term, and to place bets on technology we believe will have a significant impact over time. It's hard to imagine now, but when we started Google most people thought search was a solved problem and that there was no money to be made apart from some banner advertising. We felt the exact opposite: that search quality was very poor, and that awesome user experiences would clearly make money.

You treat people with respect, they tend to return the favor to the company.

You need to get one thing done well, or else you don't have permission to do anything else.

We really care about our brand. We really want it to stand for high quality. We want people to be excited about it, for it to be fun.
