In my view, investing in public libraries is an investment in the nation's future.
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
Image
Don’t tax my income, tax my consumption.
Bill Gates
Image
The government is somewhat inept, but the private sector is inept in general. How many companies do venture capitalists invest in that go poorly? By far most of them. However, every once in a while a Google or a Microsoft comes out, so people keep giving them money.
Bill Gates
Image
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.

Success is a lousy teacher.

As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others.

One thing I've always loved about the culture at Microsoft is there is nobody who is tougher on us, in terms of what we need to learn and do better, than the people in the company itself. You can walk down these halls, and they'll tell you, 'We need to do usability better, push this or that frontier.'

Make sure people get educated, help out with health emergencies. Those things, the government should do. That's 96 per cent of the economy, those two sectors.
Bill Gates
Image
At some point, that risk-taking private capital can take over, and have patents and trade secrets and things that let them lead the way, which happened with the steam engine and some other things, although with energy, the time of adoption is a lot longer than it is with, say, IT products or even medical advances, like drugs and vaccines.
Bill Gates
Image
We make the future sustainable when we invest in the poor, not when we insist on their suffering.
Bill Gates
Image
Don't let complexity stop you. Be activists. Take on the big inequities. It will be one of the great experiences of your lives.
Bill Gates
Image
When you are failing, you are forced to be creative, to dig deep and think, night and day.
Bill Gates
Image
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
Image
K to 12 is partly about babysitting the kids so the parents can do other things.
Bill Gates
Image
People always fear change. People feared electricity when it was invented, didn't they? People feared coal, they feared gas-powered engines... There will always be ignorance, and ignorance leads to fear. But with time, people will come to accept their silicon masters.

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.

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.
