Bill Gates
Lectures should go from being like the family singing around the piano to high-quality concerts.
Bill Gates
Whenever you have war, you often have more deaths because the medical system and the food system breaks down, than you have directly through violence.
Bill Gates
If the 1980s were about quality and the 1990s were about reengineering, then the 2000s will be about velocity.
Bill Gates
I have seen firsthand that agricultural science has enormous potential to increase the yields of small farmers and lift them out of hunger and poverty.
Bill Gates
The government is there day in and day out, if you want all kids to have education, if you want to run courts, if you want to have an army, if you want to have roads, you've got to have the taxation system that funds everything that you expect.
Bill Gates
'I don't know' has become 'I don't know yet'.
Bill Gates
There was a magical breakthrough when the computer became cheap and we could see that everyone could afford a computer.
