More quotes by Steve Jobs
That's what makes great products. It's not process-it's content.
Steve Jobs
I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.
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
We've gone through the operating system and looked at everything and asked how can we simplify this and make it more powerful at the same time.
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
Each dream you leave behind is a part of your future that will no longer exist.
Steve Jobs
Simple can be harder than complex. You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple.
Steve Jobs
If we don’t cannibalize ourselves, someone else will.
Steve Jobs
My kids accuse me and my wife of being fascists and overly concerned about tech, and they say that none of their friends have the same rules... That's because we have seen the dangers of technology firsthand. I've seen it in myself, I don't want to see that happen to my kids.
Steve Jobs
I found that there were these incredibly great people at doing certain things, and you couldn't replace one of these people with fifty average people.
Steve Jobs
Now, we are selling over 5 million songs a day now. Isn't that unbelievable? That's 58 songs every second of every minute of every hour of every day.
Steve Jobs
One way to drive fear out of a relationship is to realize that your partner's values are the same as yours, that what you care about is exactly what they care about. In my opinion, that drives fear out and makes for a great partnership, whether it's a corporate partnership or a marriage.
Steve Jobs
Most people have no concept of how an automatic transmission works, yet they know how to drive a car. You don't have to study physics to understand the laws of motion to drive a car. You don't have to understand any of this stuff to use Macintosh.
Steve Jobs
Making an enduring company was both harder and more important than making a great product.
Steve Jobs
It comes down to trying to expose yourself to the best things humans have done. And then try to bring those things in to what you're doing.
Steve Jobs
Design isn't just how it looks. It's how it works.
Steve Jobs
Packaging can be theater, it can create a story
Steve Jobs
If you don't have a passion, you'll give up.
Steve Jobs
So when a good idea comes, you know, part of my job is to move it around, just see what different people think, get people talking about it, argue with people about it, get ideas moving among that group of 100 people, get different people together to explore different aspects of it quietly, and, you know – just explore things.
Steve Jobs
It takes a lot of hard work to make something simple.
Steve Jobs
