It is possible to be aware of God at all times.

Apple has a culture of excellence that is, I think, so unique and so special. I’m not going to witness or permit the change of it.

You can only do so many things great, and you should cast aside everything else.

Our new watches are made entirely of double super gold. They are just a piece of gold that you can wear to the left, right, or directly on top of the other gold you own.

Price is rarely the most important thing. A cheap product might sell some units.

Creativity and innovation are something you can’t flowchart out. Some things you can, and we do, and we’re very disciplined in those areas. But creativity isn’t one of those.

I learned that focus is key. Not just in your running a company, but in your personal life as well.
