More quotes by Steve Jobs
Listen to me. We're here to make a dent in the universe. Otherwise why even be here?
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
Death is very likely the single best invention of life. It is life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.
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
If you don't cannibalize yourself, someone else will.

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
I think this is the start of something really big. Sometimes that first step is the hardest one, and we've just taken it.
Steve Jobs
I was lucky to get into computers when it was a very young and idealistic industry. There weren't many degrees offered in computer science, so people in computers were brilliant people from mathematics, physics, music, zoology, whatever. They loved it, and no one was really in it for the money.
Steve Jobs
Deciding what not to do is as important as deciding what to do.
Steve Jobs
I think Pixar has the opportunity to be the next Disney - not replace Disney - but be the next Disney.
Steve Jobs
It's the disease of thinking that a having a great idea is really 90% of the work. And if you just tell people, 'here's this great idea,' then of course they can go off and make it happen. The problem with that is that there's a tremendous amount of craftsmanship between a having a great idea and having a great product.
Steve Jobs
A-plus players like to work together and they don't like it if you tolerate B work.
Steve Jobs
A lot of people think big business in America is a bad thing. I think it's a really good thing. Most people in business are ethical, hard-working, good people. And it's a meritocracy.
Steve Jobs
I'm not worried about the country's long-term future. This country is insanely great. What I'm worried about is that we don't talk enough about solutions.
Steve Jobs
I try to get people to see what I have. . . . When you run a computer company, you have to get people to buy into your dreams.
Steve Jobs
A small team of A+ players can run circles around a giant team of B and C players.
