The reason that Apple is able to create products like the iPad is because we’ve always tried to be at the intersection of technology and the liberal arts.
Steve JobsThe thing to do, it seems to me, is to prepare yourself so you can be a rainbow in somebody else’s cloud. Somebody who may not look like you. May not call God the same name you call God – if they call God at all. I may not dance your dances or speak your language. But be a blessing to somebody. That’s what I think.
Maya AngelouI don’t have much positive to say about motor neurone disease. But it taught me not to pity myself because others were worse off, and to get on with what I could still do.
Stephen HawkingWhoever is spared personal pain must feel himself called to help in diminishing the pain of others. We must all carry our share of the misery which lies upon the world.
Albert SchweitzerDo not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.
BuddhaIf we chew every morsel of our food, in that way we become grateful, and when you are grateful, you are happy.
Thich Nhat HanhOne thing I just want to say to the military families – while you might not wear a uniform, I know – we all know, the nation knows – that you serve and sacrifice right alongside of your loved ones. And we are so grateful and proud of all of you for your service to this nation.
Michelle ObamaI never needed much, and I never thought I’d get more than what I had. A trip to Burger King was the biggest thing in the world to me. Heaven.
Dave GrohlThe first fresh hour of every morning should be dedicated to the Lord, whose mercy gladdens it with golden light.
Charles SpurgeonOur greatness has always come from people who expect nothing and take nothing for granted – folks who work hard for what they have, then reach back and help others after them.
Michelle ObamaHelping those who have been struck by unforeseeable misfortunes is fundamentally different from making dependency a way of life.
Thomas SowellWhat we want to do is make a leapfrog product that is way smarter than any mobile device has ever been, and super-easy to use. This is what iPhone is. OK? So, we’re going to reinvent the phone.
Steve JobsI think you have a moral responsibility when you’ve been given far more than you need, to do wise things with it and give intelligently.
J. K. RowlingDelhi means everything to me. This city has given me everything, and I love it.
Virat KohliWe should give as we would receive, cheerfully, quickly, and without hesitation; for there is no grace in a benefit that sticks to the fingers.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaMy greatest blessing has been the birth of my son. My next greatest blessing has been my ability to turn people into children of mine.
Maya AngelouThe success I have achieved in bodybuilding, motion pictures, and business would not have been possible without the generosity of the American people and the freedom here to pursue your dreams.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerI tell everybody, I get so much because I give so much. I give freely, I give all my time, give all my money, give all of my soul. I try to motivate people. I try to inspire them.
Mr. TI’m one of the luckiest people on earth.
Kamala HarrisMy life turned out to be beyond my greatest dreams.
Anthony HopkinsI think a lot of things that are the norm, that are very systematic, don’t work.
Tom BradyInnovation is moving at a scarily fast pace.
Bill GatesAll these walls that keep us from loving each other as one family or one race – racism, religion, where we grew up, whatever, class, socioeconomic – what makes us be so selfish and prideful, what keeps us from wanting to help the next man, what makes us be so focused on a personal legacy as opposed to the entire legacy of a race.
Kanye WestMicrosoft has had two goals in the last 10 years. One was to copy the Mac, and the other was to copy Lotus‘ success in the spreadsheet – basically, the applications business. And over the course of the last 10 years, Microsoft accomplished both of those goals. And now they are completely lost.
Steve JobsThe most genius thing about the way I create is to create with other geniuses.
Kanye WestThe over-all point is that new technology will not necessarily replace old technology, but it will date it. By definition. Eventually, it will replace it. But it’s like people who had black-and-white TVs when color came out. They eventually decided whether or not the new technology was worth the investment.
Steve JobsBut Apple really beats to a different drummer. I used to say that Apple should be the Sony of this business, but in reality, I think Apple should be the Apple of this business.
Steve JobsWhat is important in life is life, and not the result of life.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheThe solar system can support a trillion humans. And then we’d have a thousand Mozarts and a thousand Einsteins.
Jeff BezosIn everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.
Albert SchweitzerThere are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.
Albert EinsteinI saw 14 games in two and a half months at Churchill. It was what I really signed for. They were eyeing the championship and also playing the AFC Cup. So I am very thankful for Churchill, the coaching staff and the players.
Sunil ChhetriScience is magic that works.
Kurt VonnegutTo turn really interesting ideas and fledgling technologies into a company that can continue to innovate for years, it requires a lot of disciplines.
Steve JobsAn employer of mine back in the ’80s was kind enough to take me on after a rough patch, and it made a big difference in my life that I knew I was the sort of person who showed up on time. It’s a basic tell of character.
Anthony BourdainThe real story of Facebook is just that we’ve worked so hard for all this time. I mean, the real story is actually probably pretty boring, right? I mean, we just sat at our computers for six years and coded.
Mark ZuckerbergA man should always consider how much he has more than he wants.
Joseph AddisonWhat humility does for one is it reminds us that there are people before me. I have already been paid for. And what I need to do is prepare myself so that I can pay for someone else who has yet to come but who may be here and needs me.
Maya AngelouYou give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
Khalil GibranGood ideas are free – or at least they should be.
Matthew McConaugheyIndeed, it is as important to learn how to receive a blessing as it is to be willing to give one.
Joel OsteenIf it wasn’t for baseball, I’d be in either the penitentiary or the cemetery.
Babe RuthGovernments will always play a huge part in solving big problems. They set public policy and are uniquely able to provide the resources to make sure solutions reach everyone who needs them. They also fund basic research, which is a crucial component of the innovation that improves life for everyone.
Bill GatesThere are a few other things that I built when I was at Harvard that were kind of smaller versions of Facebook. One such program was this program called Match. People could enter the different courses that they were taking, and see what other courses would be correlated with the courses they are taking.
Mark ZuckerbergThe Lord commonly gives riches to foolish people, to whom he gives nothing else.
Martin LutherThere was the time I bought three cars in the span of three or four weeks. It was crazy; it wasn’t greedy. It was mine, my girl’s, my mom’s. I got Benzes for my ladies. But I felt crazy. You have to understand I come from a world where we’re very modest. But that’s not greedy. That’s nice, right?
J. ColeWe love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving.
Friedrich NietzscheIt is better for you to be free of fear lying upon a pallet, than to have a golden couch and a rich table and be full of trouble.
EpicurusI always thought money was something just to make me happy. But I’ve learned that I feel better being able to help my folks, ‚cause we never had nothing. So just to see them excited about my career is more of a blessing than me actually having it for myself.
Kendrick LamarYou may be rich, but there is one thing you can’t afford – that is, if you are a good sort – you can’t afford to spend money on your own luxuries while there are people around you wanting the necessaries of life.
Robert Baden-PowellSometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light.

Brian TracyHow much better it would be if all could be more aware of God’s providence and love and express that gratitude to Him.
Russell M. NelsonI think that the idea of having a different approach to every single one of my albums is so exciting to me. I never want to make the same record twice. Why do it? What’s the point?
Taylor SwiftI just received the following wire from my generous Daddy; Dear Jack, Don’t buy a single vote more than is necessary. I’ll be damned if I’m going to pay for a landslide.
John F. KennedyA man who is eating or lying with his wife or preparing to go to sleep in humility, thankfulness and temperance, is, by Christian standards, in an infinitely higher state than one who is listening to Bach or reading Plato in a state of pride.
C. S. LewisThe Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet. The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together.
Barack ObamaI’m thankful for the incredible advances in medicine that have taken place during my lifetime. I almost certainly wouldn’t still be here if it weren’t for them.
Billy GrahamThe art of acceptance is the art of making someone who has just done you a small favor wish that he might have done you a greater one.

Charlie Chaplin
