The power of imagination created the illusion that my vision went much farther than the naked eye could actually see.

All the historic precedents, the soaring graphs, the staggering statistics - these measure size more than substance. And the largeness and greatness of our nation would be almost a mockery - without a matching greatness of heart and largeness of vision as we look out upon the world.

Our vision for Kindle is every book ever printed in any language, all available in less than sixty seconds.

The vision for Echo and Alexa was inspired by the Star Trek computer.

We are stubborn on vision. We are flexible on details.

If you manage people for 20 years, or something like that, you pick up things. So I certainly lack experience there, and that's an issue. But I sort of make up for that, I think, in terms of understanding where things are going to go, having a vision about the future, and really understanding the industry I am in, and what the company does, and also sort of the unique position of starting a company and working on it for three years before starting the company.
