We Quotes

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

Like almost everyone who uses e-mail, I receive a ton of spam every day. Much of it offers to help me get out of debt or get rich quick. It would be funny if it weren't so exciting Picture Quote #1

We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten. Don't let yourself be lulled into inaction Picture Quote #1

Well I think any author or musician is anxious to have legitimate sales of their products, partly so they're rewarded for their success, partly so they can go on and do new things Picture Quote #1

Almost every way we make electricity today, except for the emerging renewables and nuclear, puts out CO2. And so, what we're going to have to do at a global scale, is create a new system. And so, we need energy miracles Picture Quote #1

Now, we put out a lot of carbon dioxide every year, over 26 billion tons. For each American, it's about 20 tons. For people in poor countries, it's less than one ton. It's an average of about five tons for everyone on the planet. And, somehow, we have to make changes that will bring that down to zero Picture Quote #1

Security is, I would say, our top priority because for all the exciting things you will be able to do with computers - organizing your lives, staying in touch with people, being creative - if we don't solve these security problems, then people will hold back Picture Quote #1

Until we're educating every kid in a fantastic way, until every inner city is cleaned up, there is no shortage of things to do Picture Quote #1

Whether it's Google or Apple or free software, we've got some fantastic competitors and it keeps us on our toes Picture Quote #1

The Wright Brothers created the single greatest cultural force since the invention of writing. The airplane became the first World Wide Web, bringing people, languages, ideas, and values together Picture Quote #1

Instead of buying airplanes and playing around like some of our competitors, we've rolled almost everything back into the company Picture Quote #1

I have to say that in 1981, making those decisions, I felt like I was providing enough freedom for 10 years. That is, a move from 64k to 640k felt like something that would last a great deal of time. Well, it didn't - it took about only 6 years before people started to see that as a real problem Picture Quote #1

If people had understood how patents would be granted when most of today's ideas were invented, and had taken out patents, the industry would be at a complete standstill today. The solution to this is patent exchanges with large companies and patenting as much as we can Picture Quote #1

It's possible, you can never know, that the universe exists only for me. If so, it's sure going well for me, I must admit Picture Quote #1

We've done some good work, but all of these products become obsolete so fast... It will be some finite number of years, and I don't know the number before our doom comes Picture Quote #1

About 3 million computers get sold every year in China, but people don't pay for the software. Someday they will, though. As long as they are going to steal it, we want them to steal ours. They'll get sort of addicted, and then we'll somehow figure out how to collect sometime in the next decade Picture Quote #1

Like almost everyone who uses e-mail, I receive a ton of spam every day. Much of it offers to help me get out of debt or get rich quick. It would be funny if it weren't so irritating Picture Quote #1

The best way to prepare is to write programs, and to study great programs that other people have written. In my case, I went to the garbage cans at the Computer Science Center and fished out listings of their operating system Picture Quote #1

We're no longer in the days where everything is super well crafted. But at the heart of the programs that make it to the top, you'll find that the key internal code was done by a few people who really know what they were doing Picture Quote #1

Before Paul and I started the company, we had been involved in some large-scale software projects that were real disasters. They just kept pouring people in, and nobody knew how they were going to stabilize the project. We swore to ourselves that we would do better Picture Quote #1

Nothing separates the generations more than music. By the time a child is eight or nine, he has developed a passion for his own music that is even stronger than his passions for procrastination and weird clothes Picture Quote #1

The essence of childhood, of course, is play, which my friends and I did endlessly on streets that we reluctantly shared with traffic Picture Quote #1

People will frighten you about a graduation.... They use words you don't hear often: And we wish you Godspeed. It is a warning, Godspeed. It means you are no longer welcome here at these prices Picture Quote #1

I am not interested in statistics that tell me things are not as bad as they seem. Things are horrible. I have met people crying about what is happening, but there is no solution yet. Our children are trying to tell us something, and we are not listening. I don't care what the statistics say Picture Quote #1

I said to a guy, I said, Tell me, what is it about cocaine that makes it so wonderful?, And he said, Well, it intensifies your personality. I said, Yes, but what if you're an asshole? Picture Quote #1

A person with no children says, Well I just love children, and you say Why? And they say, Because a child is so truthful, that's what I love about 'em - they tell the truth. That's a lie, I've got five of 'em. The only time they tell the truth is if they're having pain Picture Quote #1

Fathers are the geniuses of the house because only a person as intelligent as we could fake such stupidity Picture Quote #1

And tired always followed sick. Worst beating I ever got in my life, my mother said, I am just sick... And I said, And tired. I don't remember anything after that Picture Quote #1
