More quotes by Bill Gates
If I was down to the last dollar of my marketing budget I'd spend it on PR!
Bill Gates
Take agriculture, where we haven't done much, or sanitation saying, okay, we will be able to make a really huge effort there. It really energized the foundation and half of what we've gotten done in this last decade is because Warren [Buffett] trusted us.
Bill Gates
When we face a choice between adding features and resolving security issues, we need to choose security.
Bill Gates
I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time. But many others were also in the same place. The difference was that I took action.
Bill Gates
There are websites that any government wants to block. The truth about the Internet is that it's extremely hard to block anything - extremely hard. You'll never get perfect blocking.
Bill Gates
Learning to write programs stretches your mind, and helps you think better, creates a way of thinking about things that I think is helpful in all domains.
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
If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Bill Gates
If you are born poor its not your mistake, But if you die poor its your mistake.
Bill Gates
About three million computers get sold every year in China, people don't pay for the software. Someday they will, though. And as long as they're going to steal it, we want them to steal ours. They'll get sort of addicted, and then we'll somehow figure out how to collect sometime in the next decade.
Bill Gates
For all these infectious diseases, the goal is to eventually get rid of them. And to do that we need to invent new tools, but nobody was doing that because there was no money to buy on behalf of the poorest, even the existing tools.
Bill Gates
There's 20 companies that I have investments in - some batteries, some solar-thermal, one big nuclear thing. We need hundreds and hundreds of companies like that, so that in a 20-year time frame we really are starting to change the energy infrastructure.
Bill Gates
I think given all the different imperatives - getting energy to Africa, security of energy, climate change, that we should be spending half as much as we spend on health, which will get you all the way up to $15 billion - the health people don't like it when things get compared to their number.
Bill Gates
U.K. companies are in very international and very competitive markets. If you look at PC penetration in the U.K., it is very similar to the United States market.
Bill Gates
If you've found some way to educate yourself about engineering, stocks, or whatever it is, good employers will have some type of exam or interview and see a sample of your work.
Bill Gates
The greatest thing you can do for your competition - hire poorly.
Bill Gates
Success is a lousy teacher.
Bill Gates
People who feel the world is tilted against them will spawn the kind of hatred that is very dangerous for all of us. I think it's a healthy sign that there are demonstrators in the streets. They are raising the question of 'is the rich world giving back enough?'
Bill Gates
The Chinese are clearly inculcating the idea that science is exciting and important, and that's why they, as a whole-they're graduating four times as many engineers as we are, and that's just happened over the last 20 years.
Bill Gates
The idea of explaining why free trade is good, why immigration is good, why the world is so connected, that we need to think in terms of humanity and being generous to each other, you know, that's proving to be a challenge.
Bill Gates
