You don't need an explanation for everything Recognize that there are such things as miracles - events for which there are no ready explanations. Later knowledge may explain those events quite easily.

No man can reveal to you nothing but that which already lies half-asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.

There is something mean in human nature that prefers to think evil that gives a willing ear and a ready welcome to calumny a sort of jealousy of goodness and greatness and things of good report.

Bottom line is I didn't return to Apple to make a fortune. I've been very lucky in my life and already have one. When I was 25 my net worth was $100 million or so.

It is not worth an intelligent man's time to be in the majority. By definition there are already enough people to do that.

All intelligent thoughts have already been thought what is necessary is only to try to think them again.

For me my travels have been the chance to go to a place that already exists in my imagination.

The human imagination has already come to conceive the possibility of recreating human society.
