A Quote by Steve Jobs
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. I decided then that I wasn't going to let it ruin my life. There's no way you could ever spend it all, and I don't view wealth as something that validates my intelligence.

In fact, one of the arguments for searching for intelligent life in space, elsewhere, is that we have no evidence that intelligence has any survival value. The most successful creatures on this planet are the cockroaches. They've been around, what is it, 100 million years or so and I suspect they'll still be there 100 million years in the future.

If he's decided that something should happen, then he's just going to make it happen. (Elizabeth Holmes)
More than 100 million women have worn my clothing and accessories,, and that's so fulfilling. My skincare line proves you don't have to spend a fortune to have beautiful skin. I've loved acting but if I never played another role and just focused on my business, I'd be happy.
We have stagnant wages in America. We have stagnant, even declining net worth in this country. That's part of something that's much larger than any single individual.

And it's not the moralistic dimension to life, that we often hear about, that's rather church-y or whatever.
