The computer brings out the worst in some people.

It is better to take what does not belong to you than to let it lie around neglected.

Connectivity is a human right.

Part of what made the Macintosh great was that the people working on it were musicians, poets, and artists, and zoologists, and historians. They also happened to be the best computer scientists in the world. But if it hadn’t been computer science, these people would have been doing amazing things in other fields.

The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between.

I saw what the Depression was doing to my students. Often they could get no jobs, or jobs which were wholly inadequate. And through them, I began to understand how deeply political and economic events could affect men’s lives. I began to feel the need to participate more fully in the life of the community.

This is a fantastic time to be entering the business world, because business is going to change more in the next 10 years than it has in the last 50.

The man who has won millions at the cost of his conscience is a failure.

I think Tesla will most likely develop its own autopilot system for the car, as I think it should be camera-based, not Lidar-based. However, it is also possible that we do something jointly with Google.

What is a television apparatus to man, who has only to shut his eyes to see the most inaccessible regions of the seen and the never seen, who has only to imagine in order to pierce through walls and cause all the planetary Baghdads of his dreams to rise from the dust.

Nature hates calculators.

When I was born in 1920, the auto was only 20 years old. Radio didn’t exist. TV didn’t exist. I was born at just the right time to write about all of these things.

I pay attention to politics and technology.

If you’re in favour of any policy – reform, revolution, stability, regression, whatever – if you’re at least minimally moral, it’s because you think it’s somehow good for people. And good for people means conforming to their fundamental nature.

I was born in Africa. I came to California because it’s really where new technologies can be brought to fruition, and I don’t see a viable competitor.

Principles are guidelines for human conduct that are proven to have enduring, permanent value.

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

If you want to know your true opinion of someone, watch the effect produced in you by the first sight of a letter from him.

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 mean, we’ve built a lot of products that we think are good, and will help people share photos and share videos and write messages to each other. But it’s really all about how people are spreading Facebook around the world in all these different countries. And that’s what’s so amazing about the scale that it’s at today.

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

Ethics is the activity of man directed to secure the inner perfection of his own personality.

Digital reading will completely take over. It’s lightweight and it’s fantastic for sharing. Over time it will take over.

You quickly find, when you are a hand-reader as I am, that nothing interests people so much as themselves.

We’re the only animal that wakes up and doesn’t stretch.

To turn really interesting ideas and fledgling technologies into a company that can continue to innovate for years, it requires a lot of disciplines.

I do not recognize the right of the public to break in the front door of a man’s private life in order to satisfy the gaze of the curious… I do not think it right to dissect living men even for the advancement of science. So far as I am concerned, I prefer a post mortem examination to vivisection without anaesthetics.

If we’re really honest with ourselves, most of us will admit that we want to impress people, and this is what’s causing us to do what we do.

Of all virtues and dignities of the mind, goodness is the greatest, being the character of the Deity; and without it, man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing.

I believe it is universally understood and acknowledged that all men will ever act correctly, unless they have a motive to do otherwise.

I hope that Facebook and other Internet technologies were able to help people, just like we hope that we help them communicate and organize and do whatever they want to every single day, but I don’t pretend that if Facebook didn’t exist, that this wouldn’t even be possible. Of course, it would have.

People like to hear the word ‚love.‘

When the President does it, that means that it’s not illegal.

I do not think psychoanalysis has a scientific basis. If we can’t explain why a cockroach decides to turn left, how can we explain why a human being decides to do something?

Connectivity just can’t be a privilege for people in the richest countries. We believe that connecting everyone in the world is one of the great challenges of our generation, and that’s why we are happy to play whatever small part in that that we can.

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

I’m trying my best to keep up with all this new technology, and I surround myself with all these wonderful people that are in the know and kind of help me out with all that.

All the commandments: You shall not commit adultery, you shall not kill, you shall not steal, you shall not covet, and so on, are summed up in this single command: You must love your neighbor as yourself.

The safest course is to do nothing against one’s conscience. With this secret, we can enjoy life and have no fear from death.

I have no human feelings.

Infrastructure web services had to happen.

California is not just the Golden State. We are also the Internet State.

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

If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 MPG.

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.

Virtue is not left to stand alone. He who practices it will have neighbors.

I think that there’s no doubt that as I see friends, families, children of gay couples who are thriving, you know, that has an impact on how I think about these issues.

One who is injured ought not to return the injury, for on no account can it be right to do an injustice; and it is not right to return an injury, or to do evil to any man, however much we have suffered from him.

It is more from carelessness about truth than from intentionally lying that there is so much falsehood in the world.

We tell lies, yet it is easy to show that lying is immoral.

What the mind doesn’t understand, it worships or fears.

Morality is simply the attitude we adopt towards people whom we personally dislike.

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.

Ethics is in origin the art of recommending to others the sacrifices required for cooperation with oneself.

The community – more than two billion people use our products, and we get that, with that, a lot of people are using that for a lot of good, but we also have a responsibility to mitigate the darker things that people are gonna try to do.

I believe in the Golden Rule – The Man with the Gold… Rules.

Understand, when you eat meat, that something did die. You have an obligation to value it – not just the sirloin but also all those wonderful tough little bits.

Compassion, in which all ethics must take root, can only attain its full breadth and depth if it embraces all living creatures and does not limit itself to mankind.

I love the freedom of movement that my phone gives me. That has definitely transformed my life.

What is Apple, after all? Apple is about people who think ‚outside the box,‘ people who want to use computers to help them change the world, to help them create things that make a difference, and not just to get a job done.
