Never settle for average.
Steve Jobs
Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it's really how it works.
Steve Jobs
Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow.
Steve Jobs
Life can be much broader. You can embrace it, change it, improve it, make your mark upon it.
Steve Jobs
Innovation has nothing to do with how many R&D dollars you have. When Apple came up with the Mac, IBM was spending at least 100 times more on R&D. It's not about money. It's about the people you have, how you're led, and how much you get it.
Steve Jobs
Woz is living his own life now. He hasn't been around Apple for about five years. But what he did will go down in history.
Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs
Listen to me. We're here to make a dent in the universe. Otherwise why even be here?
Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs
It comes from saying no to 1,000 things to make sure we don't get on the wrong track or try to do too much.
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
Some mistakes will be made along the way. That's good. Because some decisions are being made along the way. We'll find the mistakes. We'll fix them.
Steve Jobs
We make tools for people. Tools to create, tools to communicate. The age we're living in, these tools surprise you. ... That's why I love what we do. Because we make these tools, and we're constantly surprised with what people do with them.
Steve Jobs
the best innovation is sometimes the company, the way you organize the company
Steve Jobs
You can't look at the competition and say you're going to do it better. You have to look at the competition and say you're going to do it differently.
Steve Jobs
Design isn't just how it looks. It's how it works.
Steve Jobs
