I want to thank every Amazon employee and every Amazon customer, 'cause you guys paid for all this.

Reusable space vehicles are the only way to build a road to space. And we need to build a road to space so that our children can build the future.

Everybody who's been to space says it changes them in some way, and I'm just really excited to figure out how it's gonna change me.

This journey began some 27 years ago. Amazon was only an idea, and it had no name. The question I was asked most frequently at that time was, "What’s the internet?" Blessedly, I haven’t had to explain that in a long while.

I'm excited to announce that this Q3 I'll transition to Executive Chair of the Amazon Board and Andy Jassy will become CEO. In the Exec Chair role, I intend to focus my energies and attention on new products and early initiatives

Unity, empathy, and decency are not characteristics of a bygone era. Congratulations President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris. By voting in record numbers, the American people proved again that our democracy is strong.

We've had three big ideas at Amazon that we've stuck with for 18 years, and they're the reason we're successful: Put the customer first. Invent. And be patient.

A brand for a company is like a reputation for a person. You earn reputation by trying to do hard things well.

I think frugality drives innovation, just like other constraints do. One of the only ways to get out of a tight box is to invent your way out.

There are two kinds of companies; those that work to try to charge more and those that work to charge less. One will be second.

Great leaders, like Steve Jobs or Jeff Bezos, also focused on the long term.

If I wanted the government in my house, I'd buy Alexa.

Miranda: "She didn't even have the balls to tell me she sent it. She just amazoned me."
Carrie: "Amazoned me? Did you just make that up?"

Brazil... the country with the second most valuable Amazon on earth.

New Mexico. It's another state. I mean, it's like California, just less traffic.

I love the American Southwest, for starters. You may call them Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah. I call them heaven.

I have traveled to many places but have no desire to leave New Mexico.

They say money can't buy happiness, but it can buy a flight to New Mexico - and that's pretty much the same thing.

It's been the honor of my lifetime to serve as your president. I love the job - but I love my country more.

You know, not only am I campaigning, but I'm running the world.

One candidate is too old and mentally unfit to be president. The other one is me.

Donald Trump was fired by 81 million people. Clearly he is having a very difficult time processing that.

Since the day I announced my candidacy, I set out to find a partner who can help unite our nation and move us forward—a fighter for the middle class and patriot who believes in the promise of America. I am here today because I found such a leader: Governor Tim Walz.

On behalf of the American people, I thank Joe Biden for his extraordinary leadership as President of the United States and for his decades of service to our country. I am honored to have the President's endors*ment and my intention is to earn and win this nomination.

Great companies are built on great products.

If one does not often make mistakes, then one has not challenged oneself enough.

I think we can all agree Elon isn't serious and it's time to move on. I offered a real date. Dana White offered to make this a legit competition for charity. Elon won't confirm a date, then says he needs surgery, and now asks to do a practice round in my backyard instead. If Elon ever gets serious about a real date and official event, he knows how to reach me. Otherwise, time to move on. I'm going to focus on competing with people who take the sport seriously.
