“Young children were always so important to me. Adults should treat children with more respect. We should put more monies in our schools. I grew up on that side of the coin.”

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.

I just believe in whatever you’re going to do, even if it’s work, have a little bit of fun attitude about it. You can be happy.

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

Wherever smart people work, doors are unlocked.

The best things that capture your imagination are ones you hadn’t thought of before and that aren’t talked about in the news all the time.

Even if you do something that others might consider wrong, you should at least be willing to talk about it and tell your parents what you’re doing because you believe it’s right.

In the end, I hope there’s a little note somewhere that says I designed a good computer.

If you try to make such projects, unseen by others, as perfect as any human could, you’ll develop skills that other professionals don’t have.

Not everything in life can go perfectly according to plan. I mean I didn’t keep every girlfriend I ever had.

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 had a TV set and a typewriter and that made me think a computer should be laid out like a typewriter with a video screen.

Once the light of our awareness is cast on any darkness, then it cannot hide and it cannot remain. Such is the law of consciousness.

Being present means being completely aware of all that is. It means you’re not in denial, you’re not pretending, and you’re not avoiding.

We communicate all the time, even when we don’t realize it. Be aware of body language.

On any given day, in any given moment, something could happen that opens up for you an entirely new path. Be still, be alert, be ready.

Know that people are doing the best they can from their level of awareness. Accept people for who they are and always be ready to forgive.

Joy is being fully aware of reality.

My deepest awareness of myself is that I am deeply loved by Jesus Christ and I have done nothing to earn it or deserve it.

Owning your own feelings, rather than blaming them on someone else, is the mark of a person who has moved from contracted to expanded awareness.
