Fear of failure falls away in the face of death.

Focus does not mean saying yes, it means saying no.

Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me ... Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful... that's what matters to me.

People think focus means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. But that's not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I'm actually as proud of the things we haven't done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things.

I know that living with me was not a bowl of cherries.

I can help the next generation remember the lineage of great companies here and how to continue the tradition. The Valley has been very supportive of me. I should do my best to repay.

To follow the path that others have laid before you is a reasonable course of action; therefore all progress is made by unreasonable men.
