We do a lot of things for reasons besides profit motive. We want to leave the world better than we found it.

Never try to fix other people. God does not need to do a bank shot off your lips.

The reality is, is that we love competition, at Apple. We think it makes us all better. But we want people to invent their own stuff.

If I'm working with you for several months on things, if I have a relationship with you, and I decide one day I'm going to sue you, I'm a country boy at the end of the day. I'm going to pick up the phone and tell you I'm going to sue you.

If you're worried about messaging, people will just move to something else. You know if you legislate against Facebook and Apple and Google and whatever else in the US, they'll just use something else. So are we really safer then? I would say no. I would say we're less safe, because now we've opened up all of the infrastructure for people to go wacko at.

You can't have a back door that's only for the good guys.

Certainly some things that are very good can sometimes be used in a bad way.
