Steve Jobs' quotes will be something that will forever be written next to his name. Jobs would have been 60 on February 24, 2015. Unfortunately, he is no longer with us since October 5, 2011, so the fruits of his work continue to live with us. And not only technological innovations such as the Macintosh, iMac, iPod, iTunes, iPhone and iPad, but also his wisdom, which he regularly shared with the world and which today is packaged in famous quotes (wise thoughts). Steve Jobs was not only full of ideas and visions, he was also full of deep thoughts with which he influenced many lives. We've rounded up some of the best quotes and wise thoughts for you.
Steve Jobs, thinker, visionary, man of his word, creative personality, guru of the information age, master of public speaking,... he left the world not only a cult brand Apple, which elevated her to a technological deity, but also inspiration for people, because the world was changing for the better. He did this through revolutions in personal computers, phones, music, animated films, tablets and digital publishing, as well as through words worth far more than Apple's market value. Some of his speeches contained quotes, which became national and made their mark in the hearts of fans of "rebellious" entrepreneurship.

A bunch of famous quotes from Steve Jobs can be found below:
- Passionate people are the ones who can make the world a better place.
- Favorite sayings in my life cost nothing. It is truly clear that the most precious thing we have is time.
- I wouldn't say I'm not considerate of people, but if something is bad, I tell them so. My job is to be honest. I know what I'm talking about, and I usually turn out to be right. This is the culture I wanted to create. We're brutally honest with each other and anyone can tell me I'm talking nonsense and I can tell them the same. We had a few bad fights and yelled at each other, but those were my best moments.
- Stay hungry, stay silly.
- Design is not just appearance. Design is also functionality.
- When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like this: "If you live each day like it's your last, you'll definitely be right one day." It left an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I plan to do today?" And when the answer was "No" for too many days in a row, I knew I had to change something.
- If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all things of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And as with all great relationships. And it keeps getting better over the years.
- You can't make connections by looking ahead; you can connect them just by looking back. So you have to believe that they will somehow connect in the future. You have to believe in something - your feeling, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down and has had a huge impact on my life.
- The only way to do a great job is to do what you want to do.
- Remembering that you will die is the best way to avoid the trap of believing that you have something to lose.
- Nobody wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. On the other hand, death is something we all have in common. No one has ever escaped her. And rightly so, because death is, in all likelihood, life's best innovation. It is a life variable. It pushes away the old to make room for the new. You are the new you now, but one day, not too long from now, you will grow old and slowly drift away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but that's how it is.
- Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.
- You can't ask customers what they want and then offer it to them. Once you make a thing, they'll want something new.
- Being the richest man in the graveyard means nothing to me. But it means that I can tell myself that we did something wonderful when I go to bed at night.
- Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't get caught up in dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other opinions drown out your inner voice. The most important thing is to have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. These two somehow already know what you really want to become. Everything else is secondary.
- It seemed like bad tasting medicine at the time, but I think the patient needed it. Sometimes life will hit you in the head with a piece of brick. But don't lose faith.
- We don't get the chance to do so many different things, so each one should be great. Because this is our life.
- Reminding myself that you will die someday is the best way I know to avoid the false idea that I have something to lose.
- It is necessary to believe in something - in your courage, in life, in fate, in anything. This attitude has never let me down!
- I'm convinced that about half of what separates successful entrepreneurs from unsuccessful ones is persistence.
One of the most famous speeches by Steve Jobs was made in 2005 as part of the graduation ceremony at Stanford University. The thoughts from this speech are an extraordinary inspiration to many, as he openly talks about his life, illness and death.
