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.

More quotes by Bill Gates
Business isn't that complicated. I wouldn't want to put it on my business card.
Bill Gates
If somebody is working on a new medicine, computer science helps us model those things. We have a whole group here in Seattle called the Institute for Disease Modelling that is a mix of computer science and math-type people, and the progress we're making in polio or plans for malaria or really driven by their deep insights.
Bill Gates
I can understand wanting to have millions of dollars there's a certain freedom, meaningful freedom, that comes with that.
Bill Gates
Legacy is a stupid thing! I don't want a legacy.
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
Typically, your corporate e-mail account is not, today, that spam-targeted. It's more the free e-mail accounts that are spam-targeted.
Bill Gates
I have always loved the competitive forces in this business. You know I certainly have meetings where I spur people on by saying, Hey, we can do better than this. How come we are not out ahead on that? Thats what keeps my job one of the most interesting in the world.
Bill Gates
What destroys more self-confidence than any other educational thing in America is being assigned to some remedial math when you get into some college, and then it's not taught very well and you end up with this sense of, 'Hey, I can't really figure those things out.'
Bill Gates
In the long run, your human capital is your main base of competition. Your leading indicator of where you're going to be 20 years from now is how well you're doing in your education system.
Bill Gates
The difference between a stranger sending you a message that you might be interested in at a very low volume level, no repetition, just sending it to very few people, and that being done as spam - those things get close enough that you want to be careful never to filter out something that's legitimate.
Bill Gates
Microsoft's philosophy is to 'do things better.' And Vista has given us lots of opportunity to do that.
Bill Gates
If I think something's a waste of time or inappropriate I don't wait to point it out. I say it right away. It's real time. So you might hear me say 'That's the dumbest idea I have ever heard' many times during a meeting.
Bill Gates
If Africa seeks prosperity, it must provide for the health and nutrition of all – including the poorest.
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
It's an experiment, and it's probably good to have a couple states try it out to see before you make that national policy.
Bill Gates
I considered law and math. My Dad was a lawyer. I think though I would have ended up in physics if I didn't end up in computer science.
Bill Gates
Ridiculous sums of money can be confusing.
Bill Gates
The competition to hire the best will increase in the years ahead. Companies that give extra flexibility to their employees will have the edge in this area.
Bill Gates
If you were born poor, it's not your fault. But if you die poor it is.
Bill Gates
In 1990, one in 10 children died before the age of five. That's now down to one in 20, and vaccines were the single biggest factor in that. Had it stayed at 10 percent, 122 million more children would have died.
