“I'm an optimist in the sense that I believe humans are noble and honor...” — Steve Jobs Quote

“I'm an optimist in the sense that I believe humans are noble and honorable, and some of them are really smart. I have a very optimistic view of individuals.”

“Japan's very interesting. Some people think it copies things. I don't think that anymore. I think what they do is reinvent things.

“You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.

“I have always accepted intelligence was an honorable profession. We are all mindful of the need to comply with our moral values and the law.”

“My mind rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram, or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. But I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental exaltation.”

“Too many problem-solving sessions become battlegrounds where decisions are made based on power rather than intelligence.”
