Two of my favorites are not there:

"I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something."

and

"I am saddened, not by Microsoft's success — I have no problem with their success. They've earned their success, for the most part. I have a problem with the fact that they just make really third-rate products."

One thing I really like about that first quote is his humility and pragmatism. He didn't say something dramatic like "and if the answer is no, I stop and change everything then and there". No, he knows sometimes you have to do stuff which you don't like, but it shouldn't become a habit.
Actually the one about third rate products is in the article
True. Must have skipped that.
both of those are there
