Steve Jobs, February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011
One of my favorite Steve Jobs quotes:
For the past 33 years, 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. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
~Steve Jobs, 2005 commencement address at Stanford University (Link to this speech is below)
"Steve was among the greatest of American innovators - brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it...The world has lost a visionary. And there may be no greater tribute to Steve’s success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented."
~President Barack Obama, in a press release, 10/5/11
What a visionary he was for artists, writers, musicians, computer novices and professionals alike!

Some of these are long. They are classic!
A Baha'i Prayer for the Departed, by 'Abdu'l-Baha
O my God! O Thou forgiver of sins, bestower of gifts,
dispeller of afflictions! Verily, I beseech thee to forgive the sins
of such as have abandoned the physical garment
and have ascended to the spiritual world.
O my Lord! Purify them from trespasses, dispel their sorrows,
and change their darkness into light.
Cause them to enter the garden of happiness,
cleanse them with the most pure water,
and grant them to behold Thy splendors on the loftiest mount.
