“Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.”

“Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes . . . the ones who see things differently – they're not fond of rules . . . You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things . . . they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the [people] who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world are the ones who do.”

“My favorite things in life don't cost any money. It's really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time.”

“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.” (in 2005)
