Steve Jobs
Focusing is about saying No.
Steve Jobs
Innovation is saying 'no' to 1,000 things.
Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs
What we're doing here will send a giant ripple through the universe.
Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs
As Regis Mckenna once said, the best marketing is education
Steve Jobs
Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
Steve Jobs
I thought deeply about this. I ended up concluding that the worst thing that could possibly happen as we get big and as we get a little more influence in the world is if we change our core values and start letting it slide, I can't do that. I'd rather quit.
Steve Jobs
All the work I've done in my life will be obsolete by the time I'm fifty.
Steve Jobs
It's not the consumers' job to figure out what they want
Steve Jobs
I feel like somebody just punched me in the stomach and knocked all my wind out. I'm only 30 years old and I want to have a chance to continue creating things. I know I've got at least one more great computer in me. And Apple is not going to give me a chance to do that.
