More quotes by Bill Gates
I don't think there's anything unique about human intelligence.
Bill Gates
Computer science … jobs should be way more interesting than even going to Wall Street or being a lawyer--or, I can argue, than anything but perhaps biology, and there it's just a tie.
Bill Gates
People should just buy a CD and rip it. You are legal then.
Bill Gates
I don't believe in creating dynastic wealth. I don't really believe that in a society that aspires to be meritocratic and that believes in equality of opportunity - my kids have had advantage over 99 percent of the kids in the country.
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
Of my mental cycles, I devote maybe 10 percent to business thinking. Business isn't that complicated. I wouldn't want to put it on my business card.
Bill Gates
If you withdraw the incredible focus on polio, it will spread back, and in poor countries you'll get something like 100,000 cases a year. So by being very intense and getting the cases down to zero, what you do is you avoid all the future cases.
Bill Gates
Well, no one gives aid to Zimbabwe through the Mugabe government.
Bill Gates
The CEO's role in raising a company's corporate IQ is to establish an atmosphere that promotes knowledge sharing and collaboration.
Bill Gates
Anything you do, you better enjoy it for its value. Because people are going to second-guess everything you do.
Bill Gates
So not only are we saving lives now, we're creating the incentive for the breakthroughs that over the next generation will mean we can take AIDS, malaria and TB and bring those numbers dramatically down.
Bill Gates
Often you have to rely on intuition.
Bill Gates
During the past two centuries, innovation has more than doubled our life span and given us cheap energy and more food. If we project what the world will be like 10 years from now without continuing innovation in health, energy or food, the picture is dark.
Bill Gates
In the US in the 1900's 60 % of people were employed on the farms. Today it's less than 1%. If you told people back then that this would happen they wouldn't have believed it. If you told them we would have therapy, massages and spas that played important parts in our lives they would've have believed us.
Bill Gates
50 years from now we won't need as much human labour to do what manual workers do, so we should be able to take that extra productivity and put it to better use.
Bill Gates
You might say, well, aren't people saying that about wind and solar today? Not really. Only in the super-narrow sense that the capital costs per output, when the wind is blowing, is slightly lower.
Bill Gates
Skype actually does get a fair bit of revenue.
Bill Gates
The returns from investing in poor people are just as great as the returns from investing in the business world... and have even more meaning
Bill Gates
We were young, but we had good advice and good ideas and lots of enthusiasm.
Bill Gates
America's high schools are obsolete. By obsolete, I don't just mean that they're broken, flawed, or underfunded, though a case could be made for every one of those points. By obsolete, I mean our high schools-even when they're working as designed-cannot teach all our students what they need to know today.
