More quotes by Bill Gates

Bill Gates
Connectivity enables transparency for better government, education, and health.
Bill Gates
Eradications are special. Zero is a magic number. You either do what it takes to get to zero and you're glad you did it or you get close, give up and it goes back to where it was before, in which case you wasted all that credibility, activity, money that could have been applied to other things.
Bill Gates

Bill Gates
The idea that you encourage companies to take their innovative thinkers and think about the most needy - even beyond the market opportunities - that's something that appropriately ought to be done.
Bill Gates
China has many successful entrepreneurs and business people. I hope that more people of insight will put their talents to work to improve the lives of poor people in China and around the world, and seek solutions for them.
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 think it makes sense to believe in God, but exactly what decision in your life you make differently because of it, I don't know.
Bill Gates
Microsoft's philosophy is to 'do things better.' And Vista has given us lots of opportunity to do that.
Bill Gates
The first five years have so much to do with how the next 80 turn out.
Bill Gates
Most innovations, unfortunately, actually increase the net costs of the healthcare system. There's a few, particularly having to do with chronic diseases, that are an exception. If you could cure Alzheimer's, if you could avoid diabetes - those are gigantic in terms of saving money. But the incentive regime doesn't favor them.
Bill Gates
The most meaningful way to differentiate your company from your competitors, the best way to put distance between you and the crowd is to do an outstanding job with information. How you gather, manage and use information will determine whether you win or lose.
Bill Gates
Every day were saying, 'How can we keep this customer happy?' How can we get ahead in innovation by doing this, because if we don't, somebody else will.
Bill Gates
