It was one year ago today that Steve Jobs died, and in memorial, Apple has posted a short video on its home page of quotes from the great man. While just 1:45 in length, the smattering of quotes they chose perfectly catches both his whimsy, and his incredible view of the future.

The home page also has a letter from Tim Cook, which says, quite simply:

A message from Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO.

Steve’s passing one year ago today was a sad and difficult time for all of us. I hope that today everyone will reflect on his extraordinary life and the many ways he made the world a better place.

One of the greatest gifts Steve gave to the world is Apple. No company has ever inspired such creativity or set such high standards for itself. Our values originated from Steve and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple. We share the great privilege and responsibility of carrying his legacy into the future.

I’m incredibly proud of the work we are doing, delivering products that our customers love and dreaming up new ones that will delight them down the road. It’s a wonderful tribute to Steve’s memory and everything he stood for.

- Tim

Frankly, I don’t think an awful lot more need be said.
