I now believe it's possible that the current rules governing business-method and software patents could end up harming us all, ... despite the call from many thoughtful folks for us to give up our patents unilaterally, I don't believe it would be right for us to do so.

I very much believe the Internet is indeed all it is cracked up to be.

Competition will accelerate in 1999, ... We still believe it is impossible to keep the pronounced bookselling market share lead over the long term.

Competition will accelerate in 1999. We still believe it is impossible to keep the pronounced bookselling market share lead over the long term.

As the era of Internet sector investing comes to a close, it appears that investors are becoming more discerning about companies on an individual level, something we believe will result in a positive impact on the competitive landscape,

We're trying to build the most customer-centric company in the world, ... I genuinely believe the balance of power online shifts away from the merchant toward the consumer.

We'd like to thank Joe for his hard work and accomplishments over the last year. I believe he is making the right decision for him and his family under the circumstances. We all wish him the very best.

We believe there's a tremendous opportunity ahead across the $5 trillion retail market globally.

We believe that over time this could turn into a significant business for Amazon, significant revenue stream for publishers and authors and a helpful customer service for readers,

I strongly believe that missionaries make better products. They care more. For a missionary, it's not just about the business. There has to be a business, and the business has to make sense, but that's not why you do it. You do it because you have something meaningful that motivates you.

But there's still so much you can do with technology to improve the customer experience. And that's the sense in which I believe it's still Day One, and that it's early in the day. If anything, the rate of change is accelerating.

I believe you have to be willing to be misunderstood if you're going to innovate.

Talent, I believe, is most likely to be found among nonconformists, dissenters, and rebels.

H. L. Mencken once said that nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public. That is not true. I have come to believe that it pays to make all your layouts project a feeling of good taste, provided that you do it unobtrusively. An ugly layout suggests an ugly product. There are very few products which do not benefit from being given a first class ticket through life.

Once upon a time I was riding on the top of a First Avenue bus, when I heard a mythical housewife say to another, "Molly, my dear, I would have bought that new brand of toilet soap if only they hadn't set the body copy in ten point Garamond." Don't you believe it. What really decides consumers to buy or not to buy is the content of your advertising, not its form.

The advertisers who believe in the selling power of jingles have never had to sell anything.

Good copy can't be written with tongue in cheek, written just for a living. You've got to believe in the product.

The business community wants remarkable advertising, but turns a cold shoulder to the kind of people who can produce it. That is why most advertisements are so infernally dull.... our business needs massive transfusions of talent. And talent, I believe, is most likely to be found among nonconformists, dissenters, and rebels.

I don't believe in tricky advertising, I don't believe in cute advertising, I don't believe in comic advertising. The people who perpetrate that kind of advertising never had to sell anything in their lives

One of President Obama's winning points last night was about how sanctions against Iran are crippling their economy. And believe me, if anyone knows how to cripple an economy, it's President Obama.

President Bush announced tonight that he believes in democracy and that democracy can exist in Iraq. They can have a strong economy, they can have a good health care plan, and they can have a free and fair voting. Iraq? We can't even get this in Florida.

Hey, Barack Obama had to give up his Blackberry. He's the first wired president. ... He might have to give his Blackberry because of security reasons. Because they're easy to hack into. In fact, when Obama heard he might have to give it up, he said, 'OMG! WTF?' I mean, he couldn't believe it.

Barack Obama said yesterday that the economy was 'going to get worse before it gets better.' See, that's when you know the campaign is really over. Remember before the election? 'The audacity of hope!' 'Yes, we can!' 'A change we can believe in!' Now it's, 'We're all screwed.'

Bush is smart. I don't think that Bush will ever be impeached, 'cause unlike Clinton, Reagan, or even his father, George W. is immune from scandal. Because, if George W. testifies that he had no idea what was going on, wouldn't you believe him?
