“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.”

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.

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.

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.

Don’t worry that you can’t seem to come up with sure billion dollar winners at first. Just do projects for yourself for fun. You’ll get better and better.

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.

I really worry about everything going to the cloud.

I never had a backup plan. I felt like if I had a backup plan, it was like saying to the universe that I didn’t believe in myself.

I start out by believing the worst

Everybody’s got to believe in something. I believe I’ll have another beer.

If my mind can conceive it, My heart can believe it, I know I can achieve it!

I do not believe that things happen accidentally; I believe you earn them.

To believe all men honest would be folly. To believe none so, is something worse.

I am not a feminist, but I do believe in the strength of women.

The first man, who, after enclosing a piece of ground, took it into his head to say, This is mine, and found people simple enough to believe him, was the true founder of civil society.
