Making an enduring company was both harder and more important than making a great product.
Steve Jobs
Image
It's really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them.
Steve Jobs
Image
These technologies can make life easier, can let us touch people we might not otherwise. You may have a child with a birth defect and be able to get in touch with other parents and support groups, get medical information, the latest experimental drugs. These things can profoundly influence life. I'm not downplaying that.
Steve Jobs
Image
Part of what made the Macintosh great was that the people working on it were musicians and poets and artists and zoologists and historians who also happened to be the best computer scientists in the world.
Steve Jobs
Image
We do not say anything about future products. We work on them in secret, then we announce them.
Steve Jobs
Image
It takes these very simple-minded instructions - 'Go fetch a number, add it to this number, put the result there, perceive if it's greater than this other number' - but executes them at a rate of, let's say, 1,000,000 per second. At 1,000,000 per second, the results appear to be magic.
Steve Jobs
Image
You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
Steve Jobs

It is piracy, not overt online music stores, which is our main competitor.
Steve Jobs
Image
Good PR educates people that's all it is. You can't con people in this business. The products speak for themselves.
Steve Jobs
Image
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
Image
Technology alone is not enough.
Steve Jobs
Image
Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
Steve Jobs
Image
My job is not to be easy on people. My job is to take these great people we have and to push them and make them even better.
Steve Jobs
Image
We don't settle for anything less than excellence.
Steve Jobs
Image
As individuals, people are inherently good. I have a somewhat more pessimistic view of people in groups. And I remain extremely concerned when I see what's happening in our country, which is in many ways the luckiest place in the world. We don't seem to be excited about making our country a better place for our kids.
Steve Jobs
Image
Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use.
Steve Jobs
Image
I think the biggest innovations of the 21st century will be at the intersection of biology and technology. A new era is beginning.

Mac OS X Tiger will come out long before Longhorn.
Steve Jobs
Image
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.

This revolution, the information revoultion, is a revolution of free energy as well, but of another kind: free intellectual energy. It's very crude today, yet our Macintosh computer takes less power than a 100-watt bulb to run it and it can save you hours a day. What will it be able to do ten or 20 years from now, or 50 years from now?
