All the work I've done in my life will be obsolete by the time I'm fifty.
Steve Jobs
Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me ... Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful... that's what matters to me.
Steve Jobs
The tragedy is that Dell didn't win it - we lost it.
Steve Jobs
Death is the destination we all share, no one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be because death is very likely the single best invention of life.
Steve Jobs
We have always been shameless about stealing great ideas.
Steve Jobs
I'll always stay connected with Apple. I hope that throughout my life I'll sort of have the thread of my life and the thread of Apple weave in and out of each other, like a tapestry. There may be a few years when I'm not there, but I'll always come back.
Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs
If you don't cannibalize yourself, someone else will.
Steve Jobs
Apple's goal isn't to make money. Our goal is to design and develop and bring to market good products... We trust as a consequence of that, people will like them, and as another consequence, we'll make some money. But we're really clear about what our goals are.
Steve Jobs
The good music companies do an amazing thing. They have people who can pick the person that's gonna be successful out of 5,000 candidates. And there's not enough information to do that - it's an intuitive process.
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

Steve Jobs
Death is very likely the single best invention of life.
Steve Jobs
Deciding what not to do is as important as deciding what to do.
Steve Jobs
We all have a short period of time on this earth-We probably only have the opportunity to do a few things really great and do them well. None of us has any idea how long we're going to be here nor do I, but my feeling is I've got to accomplish a lot of these things while I'm young.
Steve Jobs
Focusing is about saying No.
Steve Jobs
You know, my main reaction to this money thing is that it's humorous, all the attention to it, because it's hardly the most insightful or valuable thing that's happened to me.
Steve Jobs
The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste. And I don't mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way, in the sense that they don't think of original ideas, and they don't bring much culture into their products.
Steve Jobs
