compilations spring up all over the internet, The Periscope Postnewsroom has

read (almost) the lot and selected out own definitive top ten quotes list from the late,

On death. ―Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever

encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all

external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure — these things

just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering

that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have

something to lose.‖

On (how to live your) life. ―Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone

else’s life … Stay hungry. Stay foolish.‖ -2005 Stanford commencement speech.

On progress. ―Things don’t have to change the world to be important.‖ -

New York Times 2003
