Mark Zuckerberg:

Right now this all seems like a big deal. Going public is an important milestone in our history. But here's the thing: our mission isn't to be a public company. Our mission is to make the world more open and connected.

In the past eight years, all of you out there have built the largest community in the history of the world. You've done amazing things that we never would have dreamed of and I can't wait to see what you guys all do going forward....

On behalf of everyone at Facebook, I just want to say to all the people out there who use Facebook, our products, thank you....

This is an awesome moment. Remember: stay focused and keep shipping.

馬克?扎克伯格：

當下看來，這似乎是一筆大買賣。上市是公司歷史上一個重要的里程碑。但問題是：我們的使命并不是成為一家上市公司；而是令世界更加開放，連結更加緊密。

在過去的八年中，正是你們建立了世界歷史上最大的社區。你們取得了過去無法想象的輝煌成就，我迫不及待地想看到在未來你們又會些什么。

我想代表Facebook的全體員工，向那些使用我們產品的用戶說一聲謝謝。

這是一個了不起的時刻。請牢記：保持專注，持續發布。
