“Our first computers were born not out of greed or ego, but in the revolutionary spirit of helping common people rise above the most powerful institutions.”

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.

I just was non-political and didn’t see myself as a person who could push people around, make their decision, you know, and tell them how lousy their work was.

Never trust a computer you can’t throw out a window.

All the best people in life seem to like LINUX.
