Nature hates calculators.

Nature gives you the face you have at twenty; it is up to you to merit the face you have at fifty.

Well, Apple invented the PC as we know it, and then it invented the graphical user interface as we know it eight years later (with the introduction of the Mac). But then, the company had a decade in which it took a nap.

Oh, these vast, calm, measureless mountain days, days in whose light everything seems equally divine, opening a thousand windows to show us God.

Any fool can destroy trees. They cannot run away; and if they could, they would still be destroyed – chased and hunted down as long as fun or a dollar could be got out of their bark hides, branching horns, or magnificent bole backbones.

Walking is man’s best medicine.

Habit is a second nature that destroys the first. But what is nature? Why is habit not natural? I am very much afraid that nature itself is only a first habit, just as habit is a second nature.

Drones overall will be more impactful than I think people recognize, in positive ways to help society.

Today, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of Universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life.

Loss is nothing else but change, and change is Nature’s delight.

People use technology only to mean digital technology. Technology is actually everything we make.

I am two with nature.

I pay attention to politics and technology.

Nature is our eldest mother; she will do no harm.

When the PC was launched, people knew it was important.

I like mathematics because it is not human and has nothing particular to do with this planet or with the whole accidental universe – because, like Spinoza’s God, it won’t love us in return.

People will visit Mars, they will settle mars, and we should because it’s cool.

Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.

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

The dispersal of juniper seeds is effected by the plum and cherry plan of hiring birds at the cost of their board, and thus obtaining the use of a pair of extra good wings.

There are certain pursuits which, if not wholly poetic and true, do at least suggest a nobler and finer relation to nature than we know. The keeping of bees, for instance.

When you draw or paint a tree, you do not imitate the tree; you do not copy it exactly as it is, which would be mere photography. To be free to paint a tree or a flower or a sunset, you have to feel what it conveys to you: the significance, the meaning of it.

If you look deep enough you will see music; the heart of nature being everywhere music.

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.

Shall I not have intelligence with the earth? Am I not partly leaves and vegetable mould myself.

Science in the modern world has many uses; its chief use, however, is to provide long words to cover the errors of the rich.

Let me recommend the best medicine in the world: a long journey, at a mild season, through a pleasant country, in easy stages.

I just think that VR and AR are going to be a really big deal.

We are all full of weakness and errors; let us mutually pardon each other our follies – it is the first law of nature.

For as the eyes of bats are to the blaze of day, so is the reason in our soul to the things which are by nature most evident of all.

I never thought, in my lifetime, that you’d be able to watch movies, read books and listen to music from a phone, but I guess the technology of tomorrow is here today.

Cameras aren’t guns. They can’t really hurt you.

The land created me. I’m wild and lonesome. Even as I travel the cities, I’m more at home in the vacant lots.

Fishing is much more than fish. It is the great occasion when we may return to the fine simplicity of our forefathers.

When we go out to the country and just sit there, what we’re really doing is just switching off various kinds of alertness that we don’t have to use. When we do that, we are stopping being defensive. We are no longer shutting ourselves off from different types of experiences, we are welcoming them in.

The Web and new technology offer more opportunities to reach a world market at a lower price. Today, a person can start a business at home and reach the world market.

Electronic books are junk.

I have lived long enough to satisfy both nature and glory.

We cannot command Nature except by obeying her.

Chaos was the law of nature; Order was the dream of man.

FaceTime helps me a lot. I feel like I’m at home even though I’m not.

Cinema reflects culture and there is no harm in adapting technology, but not at the cost of losing your originality.

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls.

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

There are trees of a thousand sorts, and all have their several fruits; and I feel the most unhappy man in the world not to know them, for I am well assured that they are all valuable. I bring home specimens of them, and also of the land.

I did not wish to take a cabin passage, but rather to go before the mast and on the deck of the world, for there I could best see the moonlight amid the mountains. I do not wish to go below now.

I’m an iPod person.

All are but parts of one stupendous whole, Whose body Nature is, and God the soul.

Gardening is not a rational act.

I think we are at the dawn of a new era in commercial space exploration.

I do think there is a lot of potential if you have a compelling product and people are willing to pay a premium for that. I think that is what Apple has shown. You can buy a much cheaper cell phone or laptop, but Apple’s product is so much better than the alternative, and people are willing to pay that premium.

Two things awe me most, the starry sky above me and the moral law within me.

After launching the first version of Facebook for a few thousand users, we would discuss how this should be built for the world. It wasn’t even a thought that maybe it could be us. We always thought it would be someone else doing it.

Love is a canvas furnished by nature and embroidered by imagination.

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.

The intersection of law, politics, and technology is going to force a lot of good thinking.

I don’t believe in an outside agent that creates the world, then walks away. But I feel very strongly there is an intelligence at work in every flower, in every blade of grass, in every cell of my body. And it is that intelligence that, I wouldn’t say created the universe. It is creating the universe. It’s an ongoing process.

Everybody thinks that when new technologies come along that they’re transparent and you can just do your job well on it. But technologies always import a whole new set of values with them.

To us also, through every star, through every blade of grass, is not God made visible if we will open our minds and our eyes.

He who can be, and therefore is, another’s, and he who participates in reason enough to apprehend, but not to have, is a slave by nature.

The Artist is he who detects and applies the law from observation of the works of Genius, whether of man or Nature. The Artisan is he who merely applies the rules which others have detected.
