More quotes by Bill Gates
[Smart] is an elusive concept. There's a certain sharpness, an ability to absorb new facts. To ask an insightful question. To relate to domains that may not seem connected at first. A certain creativity that allows people to be effective.
Bill Gates
My tax return in the United States has to be kept on a special computer because their normal computers can't deal with the numbers. So I am constantly getting these notices telling me I haven't paid something when really it is just on the wrong computer.
Bill Gates
I hope you will judge yourselves not on your professional accomplishments alone, but also on how well you have addressed the world's deepest inequities...on how well you treated people a world away who have nothing in common with you but your humanity.
Bill Gates
Technology is unlocking the innate compassion we have for our fellow human beings.
Bill Gates
Thinking about impact on children meant adding to the agenda, both the R&D agenda and the delivery agenda, but it's amazing news, even in the scale of other tragedies.

Bill Gates
Microsoft Products are Generally Bug Free
Bill Gates

Bill Gates
Like my friend Warren Buffett, I feel particularly lucky to do something every day that I love to do. He calls it tap dancing to work.
Bill Gates
My success, part of it certainly, is that I have focused in on a few things.
Bill Gates
Microsoft is involved in setting some fairly key standards and people are afraid of it because they think, Geez, they are quite capable. It's daunting, I suppose.
Bill Gates
The government's ability to select scientists and pick things that are fairly strange, because politicians don't like failures. They're only in office a short term, and many of these things take a long time.
Bill Gates
Look At The Clock When You Are Sitting idle. But Never Look At The Clock When You Are Working.
Bill Gates
Don't let complexity stop you. Be activists. Take on the big inequities. It will be one of the great experiences of your lives.
Bill Gates
Solutions to all biological problems are greatly advanced by the sequencing work and the new tools that are created.
Bill Gates
Harnessing steam power required many innovations, as William Rosen chronicles in the book 'The Most Powerful Idea in the World.'
Bill Gates
Our vision, which has not changed since the day the company was founded.
Bill Gates
It's OK for China to invent cancer drugs that cure patients in the United States. We want them to catch up. But as the leader, we want to keep setting a very, very high standard. We don't want them to catch up because we're slowing down or, even worse, going into reverse.
Bill Gates
We all have the chance to create a world where extreme poverty is the exception rather than the rule.
Bill Gates
