Like it or not, if we want to make America more secure, we are going to have to help make the world more secure.”

“To create a new standard, it takes something that's not just a little bit different; it takes something that's really new and really captures people's imagination, and the Macintosh, of all the machines I've ever seen, is the only one that meets that standard.”

“I bought a self learning record to learn Spanish. I turned it on and went to sleep; the record got stuck. The next day I could only stutter in Spanish.”

“Investing in tomorrow's technology today is more critical than ever.”
