Wealth, like happiness, is never attained when sought after directly. It comes as a by-product of providing a useful service.  

There is joy in work. There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something. 

If you aren't playing well, the game isn't as much fun. When that happens I tell myself just to go out and play as I did when I was a kid. 

We occasionally stumble over the truth but most of us pick ourselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened. 

A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen. 

Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.

Politics is the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen.

He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice. 

A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?

The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once.

You know, my main reaction to this money thing is that it's humorous, all the attention to it, because it's hardly the most insightful or valuable thing that's happened to me.

I'm sorry, it's true. Having children really changes your view on these things. We're born, we live for a brief instant, and we die. It's been happening for a long time. Technology is not changing it much - if at all.

It took us three years to build the NeXT computer. If we'd given customers what they said they wanted, we'd have built a computer they'd have been happy with a year after we spoke to them - not something they'd want now.

We're going to be able to ask our computers to monitor things for us, and when certain conditions happen, are triggered, the computers will take certain actions and inform us after the fact.

Part of what made the Macintosh great was that the people working on it were musicians, poets, and artists, and zoologists, and historians. They also happened to be the best computer scientists in the world. But if it hadn't been computer science, these people would have been doing amazing things in other fields.

I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.

The kindness in our nature or behaviour can become the reason for our own defeat. So, with full rage in our eyes, we have to fight for the injustice which is happening to us.

Be more dedicated to making solid achievements than in running after swift but synthetic happiness.

As a child of God, I am greater than anything that can happen to me.

Poetry comes from the highest happiness or the deepest sorrow.

Do not cry, new wishes, new dreams will take place. The unspent years of joy will happen and there will be no sorrow left.

Inspiration can hit you in the head at any time in any context. It could happen in a conversation. Talking to someone at a party, you can get an idea. But you've got to remember those inspirations.

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.

Festivals are meant relieve the stress of our everyday lives.

You not supposed to feel down over whatever happen to you. I mean, you're supposed to use whatever happen to you as some type of upper, not a downer.

Me only have one ambition, y'know. I only have one thing I really like to see happen. I like to see mankind live together - black, white, Chinese, everyone - that's all.

Laughter is America's most important export.
