More quotes by Steve Jobs
One of my beliefs very strongly is that any democracy depends on a free, healthy press.
Steve Jobs
It's the disease of thinking that a having a great idea is really 90% of the work. And if you just tell people, 'here's this great idea,' then of course they can go off and make it happen. The problem with that is that there's a tremendous amount of craftsmanship between a having a great idea and having a great product.
Steve Jobs
A computer is the most incredible tool we've ever seen. It can be a writing tool, a communications center, a supercalculator, a planner, a filer and an artistic instrument all in one, just by being given new instructions, or software, to work from. There are no other tools that have the power and versatility of a computer.
Steve Jobs
When you're young, you look at television and think, there's a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that's not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want.
Steve Jobs
A small team of A+ players can run circles around a giant team of B and C players.
Steve Jobs
Make it like a sunflower.
Steve Jobs
If I knew in 1986 how much it was going to cost to keep Pixar going, I doubt if I would have bought the company.
Steve Jobs
Simple can be harder than complex. You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple.
Steve Jobs
You've got to have a problem that you want to solve a wrong that you want to right.
Steve Jobs
There’s a temptation in our networked age to think that ideas can be developed by email and iChat. That’s crazy. Creativity comes from spontaneous meetings, from random discussions. You run into someone, you ask what they’re doing, you say ‘wow,’ and soon you’re cooking up all sorts of ideas.
Steve Jobs
A lot of people think big business in America is a bad thing. I think it's a really good thing. Most people in business are ethical, hard-working, good people. And it's a meritocracy.
Steve Jobs
The lunatics have taken over the asylum and we can do anything we want.
Steve Jobs
The world doesn't need another Dell or Compaq.
Steve Jobs
Do you create anything, or just criticize others work and belittle their motivations?
Steve Jobs
Of course, we can not connect imprint future, you can just hook them to look back. So rest assured that the dots, the events in your life in one way or another will affect your future. You have to have faith in something - the courage, destiny, life, destiny or whatever - thinking that has made the difference in my life
Steve Jobs
The axis today is not liberal and conservative, the axis is constructive-destructive.
Steve Jobs
Part of what made the Macintosh great was that the people working on it were musicians and poets and artists and zoologists and historians who also happened to be the best computer scientists in the world.
Steve Jobs
For most of my life, I’ve felt that there must be more to our existence than meets the eye. This is who I am, and you can’t expect me to be someone I’m not.
Steve Jobs
You need to have a collaborative hiring process.
Steve Jobs
We have never worried about numbers. In the marketplace, Apple is trying to focus the spotlight on products, because products really make a difference. You can't con people in this business. The products speak for themselves.
Steve Jobs
