He once said, “Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me...Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful...that's what matters to me.” Now that he's resting in peace, it's comforting to see millions of Apple fans paying tribute to all the wonderful things he's done.
A man who is being remembered the way the world honored Princess Diana's, Elvis Presley's or Michael Jackson's departure. In many places around the world, people held up their iPhones and iPads displaying graphics of flickering candles. People gathered around with flowers and actual candles in Apple stores all over the globe.
We would like to pay tribute to this great innovator through this article, where we've put together some memorable quotes by Steve Jobs, along with some nostalgic magazine covers with iGod on their cover page, some amazing art work with Steve Jobs as inspiration and also some heart warming words from some well known personalities:
Inspirational Quotes By Steve Jobs:
"My job is not to be easy on people. My job is make them better."
"It's better to be a pirate than join the Navy."
"I'm the only person I know that's lost a quarter of a billion dollars in one year...It's very character-building."
"I'm as proud of what we don't do as I am of what we do."
"It's really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them."
"I think if you do something and it turns our pretty good, then you should go and do something else wonderful, not dwell on it for too long. Just figure out what's next."
"Do you want to sell sugared watter for the rest of your life, or you do you want to come with me and change the world?" - When Steve Jobs asked John Sculley (working with PepsiCo at that time) to join Apple.

R.I.P Steve Jobs
Larry Page, CEO Google:
"He always seemed to be able to say in very few words what you actually should have been thinking before you thought it. His focus on the user experience above all else has always been an inspiration to me.
He was very kind to reach out to me as I became CEO of Google and spend time offering his advice and knowledge even though he was not at all well. My thoughts and Google's are with his family and the whole Apple family."
Bill Gates, Microsoft Founder:
"Steve and I first met nearly 30 years ago, and have been colleagues, competitors and friends over the course of more than half our lives. The world rarely sees someone who has had the profound impact Steve has had, the effects of which will be felt for many generations to come.
For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it’s been an insanely great honor. I will miss Steve immensely."
Sergery Brin, co-founder, Google:
"From the earliest days of Google, whenever Larry and I sought inspiration for vision and leadership, we needed to look no farther than Cupertino. Steve, your passion for excellence is felt by anyone who has ever touched an Apple product (including the macbook I am writing this on right now). And I have witnessed it in person the few times we have met.
On behalf of all of us at Google and more broadly in technology, you will be missed very much. My condolences to family, friends, and colleagues at Apple."
Dick Costolo, CEO Twitter:
"Once in a rare while, somebody comes along who doesnt just raise the bar, they create an entirely new standard of measurement. #RIPSteveJobs"
Apple Inc:
"Apple has lost a visionary genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspring acto. Steve leave behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple."
Darren Rovell: Sports business repoter, CNBC:
"RIP Steve Jobs. You left your mark on our desks, on our ears & in our hands."
Snoop Dog, Rapper:
"RIP Steve Jobs. Rest in peace homie."
Mark Zuckerberg. CEO Facebook:
"Steve, thank you for being a mentor and a friend."
