“I absolutely do not need a salary or a job, that’s the last thing I need.”

Bill Gates did predict that computers for people made sense because he wrote a basic.

It’s just not right that so many things don’t work when they should. I don’t think that will change for a long time.

I was born to teach. I have always had this gift with children.

Most inventors and engineers I’ve met are like me. They’re shy and they live in their heads. The very best of them are artists. And artists work best alone.

When we first started with Apple computers, it was my dream that everyone would learn to program, and that was how they’d use their computer.

My goal wasn’t to make a ton of money. It was to build good computers.

Luxury goods are the only area in which it is possible to make luxury margins.

Who hesitate and falter life away, and lose tomorrow the ground won today.

The pursuit of excellence is less profitable than the pursuit of bigness, but it can be more satisfying.

Profit is sweet, even if it comes from deception.

How terrible is wisdom, when it brings no profit to the man that’s wise.

Don’t be seduced into thinking that that which does not make a profit is without value.
