More quotes by Steve Jobs
It comes down to trying to expose yourself to the best things humans have done. And then try to bring those things in to what you're doing.
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
Apple is the only company in the world that has all of that under one roof. We can invent a complete a solution that works - and take responsibility for it.
Steve Jobs
If we don’t cannibalize ourselves, someone else will.
Steve Jobs
I think Pixar has the opportunity to be the next Disney - not replace Disney - but be the next Disney.
Steve Jobs
My job is to make the whole executive team good enough to be successors, so that's what I try to do.
Steve Jobs
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
Breakthrough is how to distinguish a leader and who followed
Steve Jobs
There's no other company that could make a MacBook Air and the reason is that not only do we control the hardware, but we control the operating system. And it is the intimate interaction between the operating system and the hardware that allows us to do that. There is no intimate interaction between Windows and a Dell notebook.
Steve Jobs
The tragedy is that Dell didn't win it - we lost it.
Steve Jobs
The things I've done in my life have required a lot of years of work before they took off.
Steve Jobs
For most of my life, I’ve felt that there must be more to our existence than meets the eye. This is who I am, and you can’t expect me to be someone I’m not.
Steve Jobs
The most important decisions you make are not the things you do, but the things you decide not to do.
Steve Jobs
The engineering is long gone in most PC companies. In the consumer electronics companies, they don't understand the software parts of it. And so you really can't make the products that you can make at Apple anywhere else right now. Apple's the only company that has everything under one roof.
Steve Jobs
We're not a media company. We don't own media. We don't own music. We don't own films or television. We're not a media company. We're just Apple.
Steve Jobs
Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me.
Steve Jobs
Everything is important- that success is in the details.
Steve Jobs
There's a lot of symbolism to your return. Is that going to be enough to reinvigorate the company with a sense of magic?
Steve Jobs
My philosophy is that everything starts with a great product.
Steve Jobs
If I knew in 1986 how much it was going to cost to keep Pixar going, I doubt if I would have bought the company.
Steve Jobs
