Move fast with stable infrastructure.

Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time.

I love good, loud speakers.

Yeah, well I think anyone who likes fast cars will love the Tesla. And it has fantastic handling by the way. I mean this car will crush a Porsche on the track, just crush it. So if you like fast cars, you’ll love this car. And then oh, by the way, it happens to be electric and it’s twice the efficiency of a Prius.

Let your Discourse with Men of Business be Short and Comprehensive.

I’m a Silicon Valley guy. I just think people from Silicon Valley can do anything.

Back, you know, a few generations ago, people didn’t have a way to share information and express their opinions efficiently to a lot of people. But now they do. Right now, with social networks and other tools on the Internet, all of these 500 million people have a way to say what they’re thinking and have their voice be heard.

I wish we could be private with Tesla. It actually makes us less efficient to be a public company.

It’s time for the human race to enter the solar system.

I had wanted a tape recorder since I was tiny. I thought it was a magic thing. I never got one until just before I went to art school.

Technology is nothing. What’s important is that you have a faith in people, that they’re basically good and smart, and if you give them tools, they’ll do wonderful things with them.

Whether it’s Google or Apple or free software, we’ve got some fantastic competitors and it keeps us on our toes.

Despite all our gains in technology, product innovation and world markets, most people are not thriving in the organizations they work for.

You can’t really imagine music without technology.

Facebook are an amazing team, a brilliant team. It’s a technology that brings people together.

There is nothing so stable as change.

Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service. The iMac is not just the color or translucence or the shape of the shell. The essence of the iMac is to be the finest possible consumer computer in which each element plays together.

As everything becomes digitized, there’s the idea that things that can’t be digitized become more valuable.

Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.

It is my ambition to say in ten sentences what others say in a whole book.

We must ensure that technology is accessible, affordable, and adds value.

Iraq is no diversion. It is a place where civilization is taking a decisive stand against chaos and terror, we must not waver.

For the first time we’re allowing developers who don’t work at Facebook to develop applications just as if they were. That’s a big deal because it means that all developers have a new way of doing business if they choose to take advantage of it. There are whole companies that are forming whose only product is a Facebook Platform application.

How do people relate to movies now, when they’re on portable devices or streaming them? It’s not as much about going to the movies. That experience has changed.

We’re at a point now where we’ve built AI tools to detect when terrorists are trying to spread content, and 99 percent of the terrorist content that we take down, our systems flag before any human sees them or flags them for us.

I have so much that I want to do. I hate wasting time.

Who wants a stylus. You have to get em and put em away, and you lose em. Yuck. Nobody wants a stylus.

In skating over thin ice our safety is in our speed.

There is something in the way that we are now, with our cell phones, and people are not looking at each other and not being in the moment with each other, that kids feel isolated.

Facebook is in a very different place than Apple, Google, Amazon, Samsung, and Microsoft. We are trying to build a community.

I have already demonstrated, by crucial tests, the practicability of signaling by my system from one to any other point of the globe, no matter how remote, and I shall soon convert the disbelievers.

Some things get written more quickly than others, but I can’t really measure degrees of difficulty.

Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that, once it is competently programmed and working smoothly, it is completely honest.

The power and energy sectors are the biggest constituents of the infrastructure sector. If you ignore them, no development will happen.

I’ve got nothing against records – I’ve spent my life making them – but they are a kind of historical blip.

You can always think of something like the Xbox 360 as a super set-top box that can do everything the set-top box does, but then have the graphics to do the games as well.

I hate to mention age, but I come from an era when we weren’t consumed by technology and television.

Every aspect of human technology has a dark side, including the bow and arrow.

I thought it was magic to be able to catch something identically on tape and then be able to play around with it, run it backwards; I thought that was great for years.

No one has any faith in the tape anymore – everyone just relies on computers and considers the hardrive to be the safest option, and I don’t. I think an analog tape is something you can hold.

It took us three years to build the NeXT computer. If we’d given customers what they said they wanted, we’d have built a computer they’d have been happy with a year after we spoke to them – not something they’d want now.

We are not even close to finishing the basic dream of what the PC can be.

If you count E-mail, I’m on the Internet all day, every day.

Everyone seems to think that digital technology devoids the medium of content, but that is not true at all. If anything, it broadens the content.

Most people have no idea what something would sound like if it wasn’t an MP3.

Sometimes cameras and television are good to people and sometimes they aren’t. I don’t know if its the way you say it, or how you look.

Land on Mars, a round-trip ticket – half a million dollars. It can be done.

Skype actually does get a fair bit of revenue.

Nature hates calculators.

The Internet is a toilet. It is.

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.

If I went out to play basketball with other kids, when I came home I’d shower and go right back to the computer again. If there was a birthday party or a family activity, I would take my laptop and spend the whole day there.

I invented the cordless extension cord.

My first phone was two tin cans tied together with string, and it worked pretty good.

I play the harmonica. The only way I can play is if I get my car going really fast, and stick it out the window.

Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth’s surface relative to other matter; second, telling other people to do so.

The basis of computer work is predicated on the idea that only the brain makes decisions and only the index finger does the work.

I’m very much into making lists and breaking things apart into categories.

I’m glad to see that BMW is bringing an electric car to market. That’s cool.

There are massive efforts on the part of the internet’s corporate owners to try to direct it to become a technique of marginalisation and control.

Literally wrote ‚Starboy‘ in 30 minutes.
