The best scientist is open to experience and begins with romance - the idea that anything is possible.

The death of my father is probably the biggest thing that I ever faced. Daddy and I were best friends.

Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use.

The best way to be boring is to leave nothing out.

In a completely rational society the best of us would be teachers and the rest of us would have to settle for something else.

One thing is sure. We have to do something. We have to do the best we know how at the moment... If it doesn't turn out right we can modify it as we go along.

When a place gets crowded enough to require ID's social collapse is not far away. It is time to go elsewhere. The best thing about space travel is that it made it possible to go elsewhere.

Cynical realism is the intelligent man's best excuse for doing nothing in an intolerable situation.

We can choose a future where we export more products and outsource fewer jobs. After a decade that was defined by what we bought and borrowed we're getting back to basics and doing what America has always done best: We're making things again.

In fact the best thing we could do on taxes for all Americans is to simplify the individual tax code. This will be a tough job but members of both parties have expressed an interest in doing this and I am prepared to join them.

Dad needs to show an incredible amount of respect and humor and friendship toward his mate so the kids understand their parents are sexy they're fun they do things together they're best friends. Kids learn by example. If I respect Mom they're going to respect Mom.

We hire people who want to make the best things in the world.

If you believe in what you are doing then let nothing hold you up in your work. Much of the best work of the world has been done against seeming impossibilities. The thing is to get the work done.

We think the Mac will sell zillions but we didn't build the Mac for anybody else. We built it for ourselves. We were the group of people who were going to judge whether it was great or not. We weren't going to go out and do market research. We just wanted to build the best thing we could build.

The worst thing that happens to you may be the best thing for you if you don't let it get the best of you.

You may not realize it when it happens but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.

The pursuit even of the best things ought to be calm and tranquil.

I think it's brought the world a lot closer together and will continue to do that. There are downsides to everything there are unintended consequences to everything. The most corrosive piece of technology that I've ever seen is called television - but then again television at its best is magnificent.

Experience taught me a few things. One is to listen to your gut no matter how good something sounds on paper. The second is that you're generally better off sticking with what you know. And the third is that sometimes your best investments are the ones you don't make.

You are a product of your environment. So choose the environment that will best develop you toward your objective. Analyze your life in terms of its environment. Are the things around you helping you toward success - or are they holding you back?

Nothing goes by luck in composition. It allows of no tricks. The best you can write will be the best you are.

I didn't see it then but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.

The best things and best people rise out of their separateness I'm against a homogenized society because I want the cream to rise.

You're not going to say anything about me that I'm not going to say about myself. There's so many things that I think about myself if someone really wanted to get at me they could say this and this and this. So I'm going to say it before they can. It's the best policy for me.
