科技網站businessinsider之前盤點了阿里創始人馬雲的11條經典語錄，並形容馬雲是「奇怪」（Strange）、「鐵腕」（relentless）的天才。
1. 談不放棄：「今天很殘酷，明天更殘酷，後天很美好。」
On not giving up: "Today is cruel. Tomorrow is crueler. And the day after tomorrow is beautiful."
2. 談過去的失誤：「只要不放棄，你就還有機會。如果不夠強大，你就得專注、多想，不要蠻幹。」
On past mistakes from "the dark days at Alibaba": "If you don't give up, you still have a chance. And, when you are small, you have to be very focused and rely on your brain, not your strength."
3. 談團隊合作：「如果我們是個優秀的團隊，並且知道奮鬥的目標，我們就可以以一擋十。」
On teamwork: "If we are a good team and know what we want to do, one of us can defeat ten of them."
4. 談使命：「要是我失敗了，也沒關係。至少，我把一些想法傳遞給了其他人。即使我未能成功，總有後來者會成功過。」
On having a larger mission: "It doesn't matter if I failed. At least I passed the concept on to others. Even if I don't succeed, someone will succeed."
5. 談毅力：「我們一定會成功，因為我們年輕。我們永遠、永遠不會放棄。」
On perseverance: "We will make it because we are young and we will never, never give up."
6. 談工作：「每天8點上班、5點下班不是一家高科技公司的工作節奏，如果阿里巴巴是這樣的共工作節奏，也不會取得成功。要是選擇早8晚5的節奏，我們就應該去干點別的。」
On work: "If we go to work at 8 am and go home at 5 pm, this is not a high-tech company and Alibaba will never be successful. If we have that kind of 8-to-5 spirit, then we should just go and do something else."
7. 談競爭：「應該向競爭對手學習，但不能抄襲。要是抄襲，公司完了。」
On competition: "You should learn from your competitor, but never copy. Copy and you die."
8. 談Alibaba.com 2007年IPO：「阿里不是只提供工作機會，它能幫人實現夢想。實現夢想是阿里的事業。華爾街投資家們可以詛咒我們（我們不在乎）。」
On Alibaba.com's 2007 IPO: "Alibaba is not just a job. It's a dream. It's a cause. Let the Wall Street investors curse us if they want."
9. 談創建公司：「想要發展，得抓住機會。在時下，如果想成為偉大的公司，必須要解決社會問題。」
On starting a company: "If you want to grow, find a good opportunity. Today, if you want to be a great company, think about what social problem you could solve."
10. 談自己在技術方面是外行：「一群聰明的人需要一個蠢人領導他們。如果一個團隊全都是科學家，最好的方式是找個農民領導他們。因為，農民和科學家的思維方式不一樣。一個團隊里，有人可以從不同的角度看待問題，這個團隊就會成功。」
On the benefits of his technological ineptitude: "Intelligent people need a fool to lead them. When the team's all a bunch of scientists, it is best to have a peasant lead the way. His way of thinking is different. It's easier to win if you have people seeing things from different perspectives."
11. 談發展：「在發展電子商務方面，最重要的是，堅持你現在做的，並且帶著激情。」
On growth: "In carrying out e-commerce, the most important thing is to keep doing what you are doing right now with passion, to keep it up."
