We don't seem to be excited about making our country a better place for our kids.

Steve Jobs
Innovation is saying 'no' to 1,000 things.
Steve Jobs
There's nothing that makes my day more than getting an e-mail from some random person in the universe who just bought an iPad over in the UK and tells me the story about how it's the coolest product they've ever brought home in their lives. That's what keeps me going.
Steve Jobs
Much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.
Steve Jobs
When you're a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, you're not going to use a piece of plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will ever see it. You'll know it's there, so you're going to use a beautiful piece of wood on the back.
Steve Jobs
I think we need editorial oversight now more than ever. Anything we can do to help newspapers find new ways of expression that will help them get paid, I am all for.
Steve Jobs
We're just enthusiastic about what we do.
Steve Jobs
I can help the next generation remember the lineage of great companies here and how to continue the tradition. The Valley has been very supportive of me. I should do my best to repay.
