Stay hungry. Stay foolish.

An inspiring quote curated by QuickQuoteMaker.

Jobs closed his 2005 Stanford commencement address with these four words, crediting them to the final issue of the Whole Earth Catalog, which he had read as a young man. He was quoting a farewell message, and using it as one.

Hungry means never treating your current understanding as sufficient. Foolish means accepting that pursuing something unproven will make you look naive to people with more certainty than you. Both are costly, and Jobs framed them as the price of doing original work rather than as motivational decoration.
