1.- "La innovación distingue al líder del seguidor" 2.- "Sé una vara de medir de la calidad. Hay gente que no se acostumbra a un entorno donde se requiere la excelencia" 3.- "El único modo de hacer un gran trabajo es amar lo que haces. Si aún no lo has encontrado sigue buscando. No te conformes. Al igual que con el resto de asuntos del corazón, lo sabrás cuando lo hayas encontrado" 4.- "Ya sabes que no somos mas que lo que comemos. Vestimos ropa que otros fabrican. Hablamos lenguajes que otros han creado. Usamos matemáticas que otros han desarrollado … Lo que quiero decir es que constantemente estamos adquiriendo cosas. Es un sentimiento extasiante y maravilloso crear algo que modifique la experiencia humana y el conocimiento" 5.- "Hay una frase en el Budismo, 'La mente del principiante'. Es maravilloso tener mente de principiante" 6.- "Nosotros creemos que ves la televisión básicamente para desconectar tu cerebro, y que trabajas en el ordenador cuando quieres conectar tu cerebro" 7.- "Soy la única persona que sabe que he perdido 250 mil millones de dólares en un año … y eso forja el carácter". 8.- "Cambiaría toda mi tecnología por una velada con Sócrates " 9.- "Estamos aquí para dejar huella en el universo. Sino … ¿para que otra cosa íbamos a estar aquí?" 10.- "Tu tiempo es limitado, así que no lo desperdicies viviendo la vida de otro. No te atrapes en los dogmas - que es vivir con los resultados de la creencias de otros. No dejes que el ruido de las opiniones de otros acallen tu propia voz interior. Y lo mas importante, ten el coraje de seguir a tu propio corazón e intuición. De algún modo, ya saben lo que realmente quieres llegar a ser. Todo los demás es secundario."
