Steve Jobs' greatest quotes
It seems like the
whole Mac community is in a contemplative mood as Apple approaches its 30th birthday. In fact, Wired has posted an
article that lists some of their all-time favorite Steve
Jobs quotes, sorted into categories. My favorite from among Wired's selections is:"If I were running Apple, I would milk the Macintosh for all it's worth -- and get busy on the next great thing. The PC wars are over. Done. Microsoft won a long time ago." -- Fortune, Feb. 19, 1996
It's a fun quote to read when you consider what an earth-shattering success the iPod and iTunes have been. So, TUAWers, do you have a favorite? I've always been fond of, "It's better to be a pirate than join the Navy."

my all time favourite, which is not mentioned on the wired post, has to be
"I wish him [Bill Gates] the best, I really do. I just think he and Microsft are a bit narrow. He'd be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to and ashram when he was younger" -Steve Jobs (1997)
Some of the quotes are good, but not all.

March 30 2006 at 2:38 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyGreat article and wonderful SJ quotes. The writer of the article, Owen Ink, wrote the book Apple Confidential 2.0, which I highly recommend to big Apple fans.
My pick, which #6 said as well:
"Great artists ship"
I think I heard that from the movie Pirates of Silicon Valley. You can talk all you want about what you want to do, or are working on, but you got to get it done, and get it out there in the world. Anything else is a loss.
Lots of great gems in there. ;-)

How about:
"Apple makes computers and computers have keyboards..."
(Said at a Newton re-assimulation meeting.)
Hmmm....
