"Apple Computer would not have reached its current peak of success if it had feared to roll the dice and launch products that didn't always hit the mark.

"The man who has done his level best... is a success, even though the world may write him down a failure."

"The universe doesn’t give you what you ask for with your thoughts - it gives you what you demand with your actions."
