Elizabeth Holmes

"You’ll get knocked down over and over and over again, and you get back up."

"This is what happens when you work to change things, and first they think you're crazy, then they fight you, and then all of a sudden you change the world."

"I know that we made mistakes."

"The wonderful thing about the way I was raised is that no one ever told me that I couldn’t do those things."

"I have done something, and we have done something, that has changed people’s lives. I would much rather live a life of purpose than one in which I might have other things but not that."

"That moment is when you find what you were born to do. For me, I reached the point where I was spending all my time doing this anyway, and I was wasting my parents’ money on courses I wasn’t going to. So I had that moment where I was very clear: This is what I wanted to do with my life."

"When people say, ‘I want to start a business,’ my question is always, ‘Why?’ Because there’s got to be a mission — there’s got to be a reason you’re doing it so that no matter how hard it is, you want to keep doing it over and over and over again, because you love it."

"When you find what you love, you do it. That’s it."

"“ would say three things: Find what you love, and don’t let it go no matter what. I would say Winston Churchill really knew what he was talking about when he said, ‘Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never ….’ And I would say that I am living proof that it’s true that if you can imagine it, you can achieve it."
