On Growth
"I don't ask you believe anything I say, but we report, on penalty of jail, numbers every three months. Our growth is spectacular. Our profit growth is spectacular, and our profits are growing much faster than SAP's. Our license revenues are growing much faster than SAP's ... we have the No. 1 database in the world, and I'll argue that, at the dawn of the information age, that's not a bad position to have."
—SF Chronicle, May 2005

On Innovation
"Oracle is becoming an old software company, but we still must innovate. We still must understand what the new trends in computing are, and we must pioneer and lead those new trends. Our goal is to invest more than our competitors, so we can deliver more value to our customers than our competitors."
—Oracle OpenWorld, Tokyo, 2006 |

On Acquisitions
"You have to take a broader view and realize this is an industry like any other—telecom, railroads. They went through consolidation. Why shouldn't the computer industry be any different? This shouldn't have been a surprise to anybody ... and that's why we're out there alone as a consolidator."
—Forbes, July 2006 |

On Leadership
"It's strategically important for Oracle Corporation—and we think for our customers and the community of people and the industry that support us—that open standards-based software win in the marketplace."
—Oracle OpenWorld, San Francisco, 2006
