The greatest innovations often come from unexpected places. Like from a guy who just wanted to make his job a little less tedious.

The future is not about what computers can do for us, but what we can do with computers. And how many times we can restart them.

We're building a new kind of infrastructure. One that's constantly evolving, and constantly requiring new passwords.

My goal was to empower individuals. I didn't realize I'd also be empowering them to spend hours on social media.

The computer is a tool for creativity. And for making really elaborate spreadsheets.

We're on the cusp of a new era. An era where everyone has a supercomputer in their pocket, and still can't find their keys.

The biggest challenge is not the technology itself, but the human element. Especially when the human element keeps forgetting to save their work.

The most important thing we can do is to try to understand what we're doing, and why we're doing it, and how we can do it better.

The digital revolution is far more significant than the invention of writing or even printing.

We are in the midst of a revolution that will change the way we think, work, and live.

The computer is a tool for augmenting human intellect.

The future belongs to those who can learn, adapt, and innovate.

The greatest danger is not that we aim too high and miss it, but that we aim too low and hit it.

The real problem is not whether machines think, but whether men do.

Our goal is to make computers so easy to use that people will not even realize they are using a computer.

The ultimate goal is to empower individuals to solve complex problems and to collaborate effectively.

The future of humanity depends on our ability to augment our collective intelligence.

We are building a new world, and we are doing it together.

The most profound technologies are those that disappear. They weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life until they are indistinguishable from it.

The computer is not just a tool; it is an extension of our minds.
