I’m a great believer that any tool that enhances communication has profound effects in terms of how people can learn from each other, and how they can achieve the kind of freedoms that they’re interested in.

Me is a common sense man. That mean when me explain things, me explain it in a very simple way; that mean if I explain it to a baby, the baby will understand too, you know.

Money won’t create success, the freedom to make it will.

The PC has improved the world in just about every area you can think of. Amazing developments in communications, collaboration and efficiencies. New kinds of entertainment and social media. Access to information and the ability to give a voice people who would never have been heard.

The wise are instructed by reason, average minds by experience, the stupid by necessity and the brute by instinct.

He who knows how to flatter also knows how to slander.

I’ll always stay connected with Apple. I hope that throughout my life I’ll sort of have the thread of my life and the thread of Apple weave in and out of each other, like a tapestry. There may be a few years when I’m not there, but I’ll always come back.

I’m the most recognized and loved man that ever lived cuz there weren’t no satellites when Jesus and Moses were around, so people far away in the villages didn’t know about them.

I know from having had a child, and from having been a child myself, that children will copy you.

I went to a lovely school, and I got an incredible education. And I actually think that my education is what really sets me apart, ‚cause I’m very smart.

These days, children can text on their cell phone all night long, and no one else is seeing that phone. You don’t know who is calling that child.

We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.

I’ve always been at the intersection of computers and whatever they can revolutionize.

There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires.

It behooves every man who values liberty of conscience for himself, to resist invasions of it in the case of others: or their case may, by change of circumstances, become his own.

Entire ignorance is not so terrible or extreme an evil, and is far from being the greatest of all; too much cleverness and too much learning, accompanied with ill bringing-up, are far more fatal.

China and the U.S. need each other very badly. Yes, we should argue about some things, but it’s not an ‚us versus them,‘ it’s an ‚us and them‘ type scenario.

Health is certainly extremely important, and we’ve done a number of things at Facebook to help improve global health and work in that area, and I am excited to do more there, too. But the reality is that it’s not an either-or. People need to be healthy and be able to have the Internet as a backbone to connect them to the whole economy.

The capacity of human beings to bore one another seems to be vastly greater than that of any other animal.

There is a computer disease that anybody who works with computers knows about. It’s a very serious disease and it interferes completely with the work. The trouble with computers is that you ‚play‘ with them!

Hegel was right when he said that we learn from history that man can never learn anything from history.

I’m not one icon. I’m every icon. I’m an icon that is made out of all the colors on the palette at every time. I have no restrictions. No restrictions.

The law will never make a man free; it is men who have got to make the law free.

As long as I’m learning something, I figure I’m OK – it’s a decent day.

All I have seen teaches me to trust the creator for all I have not seen.

I didn’t just invent saying offensive things.

The biggest mistake we made as a company was betting too much on HTML5.

He that would live in peace and at ease must not speak all he knows or all he sees.

If I get stuck, I look at a book that tells me how someone else did it. I turn the pages, and then I say, ‚Oh, I forgot that bit,‘ then close the book and carry on. Finally, after you’ve figured out how to do it, you read how they did it and find out how dumb your solution is and how much more clever and efficient theirs is!

For the sake of peace and justice, let us move toward a world in which all people are at last free to determine their own destiny.

The computer can’t tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact mathematical design, but what’s missing is the eyebrows.

Our goal is not to build a platform; it’s to be cross all of them.

You can’t really imagine music without technology.

A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.

I owe the best of myself to geology, but everything it has taught me tends to turn me away from dead things.

Freedom is the open window through which pours the sunlight of the human spirit and human dignity.

Man, so long as he remains free, has no more constant and agonizing anxiety than find as quickly as possible someone to worship.

We polled Tesla owners, do you want autopilot disabled or not. Not one person wanted it disabled. That’s pretty telling.

Liberty is the right to do what I like; license, the right to do what you like.

I pay attention to politics and technology.

You can only have one aim per debate.

Everywhere that freedom stirs, let tyrants fear.

In many respects, the United States is a great country. Freedom of speech is protected more than in any other country. It is also a very free society.

I was never really good at anything except for the ability to learn.

The Internet has compromised the quality of debate.

A speech idiosyncrasy, in the same way as an air quote, is really justifiable only if it’s employed very sparingly and if the user consciously intends to be using it.

Men always talk about the most important things to perfect strangers. In the perfect stranger we perceive man himself; the image of a God is not disguised by resemblances to an uncle or doubts of wisdom of a mustache.

The way I talk is bizarre.

Slave to no sect, who takes no private road, But looks through Nature up to Nature’s God.

I’m always interested in what you can do with technology that people haven’t thought of doing yet.

I go to school the youth to learn the future.

To learn something but not to do is really not to learn. To know something but not to do is really not to know.

I would like to do a duet with Taylor Hanson, because I have loved Hanson since I was 8.

We know what works. Freedom Works. We know what’s right. Freedom is right.

Every relationship should eventually become a long-term relationship. Any director that I meet now isn’t just a director. He’s potentially a friend, and someone I can call to do a project that I want or that I have.

Only two things are necessary to keep one’s wife happy. One is to let her think she is having her own way, and the other is to let her have it.

I get asked a lot why Apple’s customers are so loyal. It’s not because they belong to the Church of Mac! That’s ridiculous.

Even the knowledge of my own fallibility cannot keep me from making mistakes. Only when I fall do I get up again.

There’s a certain amount of freedom involved in cycling: you’re self-propelled and decide exactly where to go. If you see something that catches your eye to the left, you can veer off there, which isn’t so easy in a car, and you can’t cover as much ground walking.

Working with a lot of people at the same time is a task. I really like making stuff and getting stuff done. One of the things I really liked about Facebook was that I could always move so quickly. I wrote the original application in, like, nine days at the end of January.

I mean Facebook is no longer a company, it’s a country. 2 billion users. It can influence what we think, what we believe, how we vote, what we buy, even how we feel.
