More quotes by Bill Gates
I do think this next century, hopefully, will be about a more global view. Where you don't just think, 'Yes, my country is doing well,' but you think about the world at large.
Bill Gates
I'm a big believer that as much as possible, and there's obviously political limitations, freedom of migration is a good thing.
Bill Gates
Philanthropy, although it's tiny compared to the government, it's 2% of the US economy, which is the largest percentage, other than the Middle East.
Bill Gates
I have to admit that business-type thoughts do sneak into my head: I hope our customers pay us, I hope this stuff is decent, I hope we get it done on time. The little additions and subtractions that one has to do. Take sales, take costs and try to get that big positive number at the bottom.
Bill Gates
(In response to Java) Anybody who thinks a little 9,000-line program that's distributed free and can be cloned by anyone is going to affect anything we do at Microsoft has his head screwed on wrong.
Bill Gates
The U.S. couldn't even get rid of Saddam Hussein. And we all know that the EU is just a passing fad. They'll be killing each other again in less than a year. I'm sick to death of all these fascist lawsuits.
Bill Gates
Software was the key element that would determine how useable and how broadly applicable the machine was.
Bill Gates
Our leadership [in Microsoft ] has that - hey, we are the best in certain ways, and so we get the best people. That any kind of positive dynamic is quite good, so I love what's going on there, it's fun.
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
Security is, I would say, our top priority because for all the exciting things you will be able to do with computers - organizing your lives, staying in touch with people, being creative - if we don't solve these security problems, then people will hold back.
Bill Gates
In programming when you're making a change you have to know all the affected places, and you have to be able to model in your head what the performance impact will be.
Bill Gates
We need to start thinking about the future of food if we are going to feed 9 billion people in a way that does not destroy our environment.
Bill Gates
We weren't trying to just go public and get rich. There was no near-term thing. It always was this many-decades thing where there were no shortcuts and we'd sort of put one foot in front of the other.
Bill Gates
I believe technology will continue to become more affordable and more people will have the chance to use it. This will help more people get medical care and a good education.
Bill Gates
Creative capitalism takes this interest in the fortunes of others and ties it to our interest in our own fortunes in ways that help advance both. This hybrid engine of self-interest and concern for others can serve a much wider circle of people than can be reached by self-interest or caring alone.
Bill Gates
I've said some stupid things and some wrong things, but not that. No one involved in computers would ever say that a certain amount of memory is enough for all time.
Bill Gates
Don't wallow in failure. Instead, learn from it.
Bill Gates
The Internet? We are not interested in it
Bill Gates
It's easier to add things on to a PC than it's ever been before. It's one click, and boom, it comes down.
Bill Gates
We all know that there are these exemplars who can take the toughest students, and they'll teach them two-and-a-half years of math in a single year.
