The greatest artists like Dylan, Picasso and Newton risked failure. And if we want to be great, we've got to risk it, too.

More quotes by Steve Jobs
Great art stretches the taste, it doesn't follow tastes.
Steve Jobs
School was pretty hard for me at the beginning.
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
Shake off this erroneous notion that life is there and you're just gonna live in it, versus embrace it, change it, improve it, make your mark upon it.
Steve Jobs
If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them.
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
It isn't the consumers' job to know what they want.
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
We've demonstrated a strong track record of being very disciplined with the use of our cash. We don't let it burn a hole in our pocket, we don't allow it to motivate us to do stupid acquisitions. And so I think that we'd like to continue to keep our powder dry, because we do feel that there are one or more strategic opportunities in the future.
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
Manage the top line: your strategy, your people, and your products, and the bottom line will follow.
Steve Jobs
You've heard of plug-and-play. This is plug, unplug and play. It's so simple to use, it's unbelievable.
Steve Jobs
It was one of those sort of apocalyptic moments. I remember within ten minutes of seeing the graphical user interface stuff, just knowing that every computer would work this way someday. It was so obvious once you saw it. It didn't require tremendous intellect. It was so clear.
Steve Jobs
Japan's very interesting. Some people think it copies things. I don't think that anymore. I think what they do is reinvent things. They will get something that's already been invented and study it until they thoroughly understand it. In some cases, they understand it better than the original inventor.
Steve Jobs
I think Pixar has the opportunity to be the next Disney - not replace Disney - but be the next Disney.
Steve Jobs
Let's go invent tomorrow...
Steve Jobs
We live in an information economy. The problem is that information's usually impossible to get, at least in the right place, at the right time.
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
Mac OS X Tiger will come out long before Longhorn.
Steve Jobs
Design is the fundamental soul of a human-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service.
Steve Jobs
