Innovation is moving at a scarily fast pace.

Almost everything that is great has been done by youth.

Within the soul of America is freedom of mind and spirit in man. Here alone are the open windows through which pours the sunlight of the human spirit. Here alone is human dignity not a dream but an accomplishment. Perhaps it is not perfect, but it is more full in realization here than any other place in the world.

To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science.

You can choose a future where more Americans have the chance to gain the skills they need to compete, no matter how old they are or how much money they have.

I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was.

What I’m trying to do is, is to make a significant difference in space flight. And help make space flight accessible to almost anyone.

I was lucky – I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents‘ garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years, Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees.

If you only do things where you know the answer in advance, your company goes away.

Culture is the process by which a person becomes all that they were created capable of being.

No, I’m not a French designer either. I’m from nowhere. I’m a European, old European is all I am.

Young people are fitter to invent than to judge; fitter for execution than for counsel; and more fit for new projects than for settled business.

I love wisdom. And you can never be great at anything unless you love it. Not be in love with it, but love the thing, admire the thing. And it seems that if you love the thing, and you don’t just want to possess it, it will find you.

The tool that’s most associated with the recent progress against malaria is the long-lasting bed net. Bed nets are a fantastic innovation. But we can do even better. We can invent new ways to control the mosquitoes that carry the malaria parasite.

My father was not a failure. After all, he was the father of a president of the United States.

In today’s world, having money has allowed people who are extremely uncool to think that they’re cool and carry it like that. People who really are cool and people who really are artists and have ideas have to literally turn in their cool card to society just to make it past the age of 28.

French is the language that turns dirt into romance.

Tradition is the illusion of permanence.

In the United States, one of the main topics of academic political science is the study of attitudes and policy and their correlation. The study of attitudes is reasonably easy in the United States: heavily-polled society, pretty serious and accurate polls, and policy you can see, and you can compare them.

I believe in the dignity of labor, whether with head or hand; that the world owes no man a living but that it owes every man an opportunity to make a living.

A man must make his opportunity, as oft as find it.

Puerto Rico’s relationship with music is everything. It’s an island full of talent and if you grow up there, you grow up living and breathing music.

The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do.

We want Facebook to be one of the best places people can go to learn how to build stuff. If you want to build a company, nothing better than jumping in and trying to build one. But Facebook is also great for entrepreneurs/hackers. If people want to come for a few years and move on and build something great, that’s something we’re proud of.

Name the greatest of all inventors. Accident.

It’s amazing, the culture Coach Belichick has been able to create in our system.

The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.

I’m the proof – you can’t throw away tradition.

First was the mouse. The second was the click wheel. And now, we’re going to bring multi-touch to the market. And each of these revolutionary interfaces has made possible a revolutionary product – the Mac, the iPod and now the iPhone.

Take advantage of the years of pioneering efforts. You might find this boring, as the young want to rush head on, as it were.

If there is anything that a man can do well, I say let him do it. Give him a chance.

Wealthy men can’t live in an island that is encircled by poverty. We all breathe the same air. We must give a chance to everyone, at least a basic chance.

Originality is a thing we constantly clamour for, and constantly quarrel with.

The U.S. – the idea that the U.S. has introduced and imposed principles of international law, that’s hardly even a joke. The United States has even gone so far as to veto Security Council resolutions calling on all states to observe international law. That was in the 1980s under Reagan.

Innovation can only occur where you can breathe free.

The United States strongly seeks a lasting agreement for the discontinuance of nuclear weapons tests. We believe that this would be an important step toward reduction of international tensions and would open the way to further agreement on substantial measures of disarmament.

Microsoft 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.

‚Soul Plane‘ put me in a position to succeed. I’m glad I had the opportunity to be the lead man.
