 Greatest
   quotes
Stay hungry, stay foolish.
               Stanford commencement address, 2005
When I was 17, I read a quote that went
something like: “If you live each day as if it
was your last, someday you'll most certainly
be right.” It made an impression on me, and
since then, for the past 33 years, I have
looked in the mirror every morning and
asked myself: “If today were the last day of
my life, would I want to do what I am about
to do today?” And whenever the answer has
been “No” for too many days in a row, I
know I need to change something
Stanford commencement address, 2005
Design is not just what it looks like




Design is how it works
            New York Times article about the iPod, 2003
If you haven’t found it yet,

keep looking
Don't settle. As with all
matters of the heart, you'll
know when you find it. And,
like any great relationship, it
just gets better and better as
the years roll on...
Stanford commencement address, 2005
You can't connect the dots looking forward;
you     can      only     connect     them   looking
backwards. So you have to trust that the dots
will somehow connect in your future. You
have to trust in something —your gut,
destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach
has never let me down, and it has made all
the difference in my life
Stanford commencement address, 2005
You cant just ask customers
what they want and then
try to give that to them. By
the time you get it built,
they’ll want something new
Interview with Inc. magazine, 1989
My model for business is the beatles.
They were four guys that kept each other's negative
tendencies in check; they balanced each other. And the
total was greater than the sum of parts.
60 Minutes interview, 2008
I’m convinced that about
half of what separates the
successful entrepreneurs
from the non-successful
ones is pure perseverance.
Interview with the Smithsonian Institute, 1995
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.
Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results
of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's
opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most
important, have the courage to follow your heart and
intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want
to become. Everything else is secondary
Stanford commencement address, 2005
Being the richest man in the
  cemetery doesn’t matter to me.
Going to bed at night saying we’ve
      done something wonderful,
       that’s what matters to me
            Wall Street Journal interview, 1993
Steve Jobs
                 1955 - 2011
