Lawrence Edward Page is an American computer scientist best known for co-founding Google with Sergey Brin and currently is the CEO of Alphabet Inc. He is a pioneer in computer science and artificial intelligence. While recalling his past, Page describes his home as “usually a mess, with computers, science, and technology magazines and Popular Science magazines all over the place”, an environment in which he immersed himself. The combined influence of Page’s home atmosphere and his attentive parents “fostered creativity and invention” that led him to be the iconic and inspiring personality that he now is. We have found and put together a glimpse of inspiration from his journey through these Larry Page quotes.
- “It is easier to make progress on mega-ambitious dreams. Since no one else is crazy enough to do it, you have little competition.”
- “Always work hard on something uncomfortably exciting.”
- “When you aim for the stars you may come up short, but still reach the moon.”
- “You never lose a dream, it just incubates as a hobby.”
- “Always deliver more than expected.”
- “Too many rules stifle innovation.”
- “You don’t need to have a 100-person company to develop that idea.”

- “If you’re changing the world, you’re working on important things. You’re excited to get up in the morning.”
- “Have a healthy disregard for the impossible.”
- “If we were motivated by money, we would have sold the company a long time ago and ended up on a beach.”
- “Sometimes it is important to wake up and stop dreaming. When a really great dream shows up, grab it.”
- “It’s very hard to fail completely if you aim high enough.”
- “Anything you can imagine probably is doable, you just have to imagine it and work on it.”
- “The only way you are going to have success is to have lots of failures first.”
We, humans, have successfully failed to understand and use “Dreams”—captivating them in glass jars or imprisoning them between the pages of books, making a business out of it. But once in while comes a man with curiosity in his heart, breaking these glass jars and burning down the pages setting dreams free, so they can fly again. Larry Page is one of those men teaching us the purity and reality of dreams. We hope you find your jar to break or pages to burn after reading these Larry Page quotes and are left with an urge and motivation to innovate or simply dream a little.
