“With the cloud, you don’t own anything. You already signed it away.”

I think that the anti-Microsoft sentiment is simply due to their having been so successful selling a lot of crap.

Teachers started recognizing me and praising me for being smart in science and that made me want to be even smarter in science!

The first Apple was just a culmination of my whole life.

There’s nothing that would keep Apple out of the Android market as a secondary phone market.

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

The easier it is to do something, the harder it is to change the way you do it.

I’d learned enough about circuitry in high school electronics to know how to drive a TV and get it to draw – shapes of characters and things.

Some great people are leaders and others are more lucky, in the right place at the right time. I’d put myself in the latter category. But I’d never call myself a normal designer of anything.

A lot of things seem to be worth almost no money. but if you do them very well, and they help people fill a need, there’s a great business you can build around that.

Neither one of us could be sure we’d get our money back on this investment, but we just wanted to have company of our own for once because we were best friends.

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

A lot of hacking is playing with other people, you know, getting them to do strange things.

If I designed a computer with 200 chips, I tried to design it with 150. And then I would try to design it with 100. I just tried to find every trick I could in life to design things real tiny.

I wish to God that Apple and Google were partners in the future.

When you’re providing a service to somebody, you’re the guy they always call when something’s wrong.

To give of yourself is much more important than giving a gift you can buy.

The lowest and most level land areas show us, especially when we dig there to very great depths, nothing but horizontal layers of material more or less varied, which almost all contain innumerable products of the sea.

We amass material things for the same reason that we eat—to satisfy a craving. Buying on impulse and eating and drinking to excess are attempts to alleviate stress.

At times, I have been convinced that books hold all the material of life–at least all the stuff that fits between an A and a Z.

Today, society is sacrificing love, values and dharma in its pursuit of materialistic gains.

The material universe exists only in the mind.

Be conscious first of thyself within, then think and act. All living thought is a world in preparation; all real act is a thought manifested. The material world exists because an idea began to play in divine self–consciousness.

Then this material world will become the very paradise of the Kingdom this elemental earth will be in a heavenly state and all the servants of God will live in the utmost joy happiness and gladness.

Material things are not to be despised-without them there can be no manifestation in the material world.
